“Police work is the most challenging and dynamic cornerstone of a democratic society. Cops yesterday and today face the same issues with ever changing politics, laws and populations. Especially as Policing relates to softening viewpoints on drugs and crime, society once again is at a breaking point. This book tells the true story of a city cop, turned state cop with the task of enforcing narcotics laws and keeping the peace in a very turbulent time in US history. Police tend to bear the brunt of the blame for a criminal’s behavior. Nothing is farther from the truth. Yes, there are some bad cops, but they are largely outnumbered by braver and nobler members of the law enforcement profession. True incidents along with on the job observations offer the cop and non-cop alike, a frame of reference on what is truly one of the most dangerous and highly politicized professions. A unique insight is shared with the public on the “BS” that cops put up with and how society must work with its police force to maintain a quality of life that everyone deserves.”
In the second segment Arif & Jeff welcome local congressman Steve Knight for a short interview to discuss the recent sit-in in congress as well as body armor for soldiers, and an upcoming yearly budget/bill that Congressman Knight has been working on.
