Listen Later

Content warning: mentions of sexual assault and sex trafficking. Welcome back to our Friday News Roundup. We’re talking about how there’s new calls to eliminate two troubled city departments – the Sheriff’s Office and Register of Wills; why Community College of Philadelphia staff and faculty might go on strike; and how three elderly retired Philly cops ended up on trial this week because of their investigation of a 1991 murder. And as always, host Trenae Nuri, executive producer Matt Katz, and Hey Philly newsletter editor Siani Colon will tell you what they’re up to this weekend. 

Our Friday news roundups are powered by great local journalism: 

  • Philly’s financial watchdog calls for abolition of Sheriff’s Office and Register of Wills
  • Retired Philadelphia detectives go on trial in perjury case stemming from 2016 murder exoneration
  • Dual enrollment students’ classes could be disrupted by looming community college strike in Philly
  • 3 Northeast Philly hotels to pay $17.5M to sex trafficking victims
