Police reform is all over the news, yet, no one discusses what happens once the offending officers are identified. This episode will give you an inside look into the internal affairs investigation process with guest Lou Reiter.

Lou was a member of the Los Angeles Police Department from 1961 to 1981, when he retired as Deputy Chief of Police. During his twenty-year career, he served as a uniformed officer, an instructor, and an Internal Affairs Officer. He’s since become a sought-after expert with published works on police reform issues ranging from complaints of misconduct to discipline.

As you’ll hear in this conversation, the call for police reform is nothing new, and this episode digs into the reasons it periodically resurfaces. Listen as Lou shares what may be different this time around.
