This week on Lewis and Broad, LaGrange Police Chief Lou Dekmar and Rev. Adam Roberts of LaGrange College joined our conversation to discuss the work the LaGrange Police Department does in our community, the culture that Cheif Dekmar has instilled in his officers, and the racial tensions that have heightened between police officers and the public.

In the episode, Chief Dekmar mentions a few of the social justice programs that the department has for our community. You can find more info on these programs in Rev. Adam Roberts' article, linked below. Chief Dekmar's article, mentioned at the beginning of the episode, is also linked below.
