After Making Few Changes, Pasco Sheriff Continues Controversial Policing Tactics
We get an update on a controversial program adopted by the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.
About a decade ago, Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco adopted “predictive policing.”

After a Tampa Bay Times investigation highlighted harassment allegations late last year, criticism ensued.
Last month, a team of investigative reporters at the Tampa Bay Times recently won a Pulitzer Prize for their work uncovering problems with the program.
