    About this Episode

    Join Sgt. Tom Datro and his guest Mbye Njie, an activist, who, after seeing the fallout from the Michael Brown case in 2015 and his own unpleasant encounters with police, set out to make a systematic change and help other BIPOC by founding Legal Equalizer. The mobile app allows users to capture police encounters after being pulled over, automatically notify loved ones in real-time, provide information on legal rights involving that encounter, and receive real-time legal advice.

    In this episode you'll learn: 

    • Ways to help protect yourself during traffic stops or other encounters (e.g. hate crime, school shooting)
    • How to help deescalate incidents of racial profiling
    • Tips for overcoming adversity
    • Ways people can get involved in their communities and be part of the change
    • Njie talks about PD's internal "don't snitch" policy

    Trauma Informed Care - From the inside out.

    Trauma Informed Care - From the inside out.

    In the world of policing Trauma informed care is taught to police officers so that officers can better deal with community members experiencing mental and emotional crisis.  However, very little time is spent on officers interacting with each other through the lens of trauma informed care.  September is Law Enforcement suicide awareness month.  Our guest, Dr. Michelle Gundy, is making it her professional mission to educate officers and stop the suicide epidemic present in our community.  An added benefit of this is the officers will better serve and protect their community members.

    Are we OVER-Punishing criminals ?

    Are we OVER-Punishing criminals ?

    Elizabeth Franklen-Best, a 20-year attorney, has been reversing criminal convictions for 15-plus years.  We discuss a component on the Criminal Justice system that does not get as much attention as policing; criminal sentencing. Elizabeth is a pragmatic, intelligent, attorney who values public safety.  She also fights for those who many have written off; the incarcerated.  It was a pleasure to talk with Elizabeth and hear her perspective on how one part of the justice system can be improved and why it needs to be.
