Retired LAPD Det. Moses Castillo discusses civil unrest in Los Angeles and the calls from city officials to defund LAPD the impact of which, as in other markets, affects not only their ability to respond to calls, but also demoralizes officers. A 30-year veteran of the department, he started out during the Rodney King riots, and he compares the social unrest then and now. He also discusses some of the most meaningful cases he investigated involving the assault and murder of children, work he did for more than 20 years. The stories are dramatic and emotional, and they reinforce the commitment and sacrifice officers like Det. Castillo make every day to protect others. He shares his experience growing up in a dangerous neighborhood next to a gang house, and the very heartwarming story of the deputy he looked up to as a kid, the deputy who inspired a young boy to become a police officer. He has his own podcast:  The Blue Line Podcast with Detective Moses Castillo available on all podcast platforms.
