Detective Nate Foster, TPD and Tuscon Police Protective League. Detective Foster joins Chris to talk about the evolution of TPD over the last 15+ years. City Council funding trends, leadership under Chris Magnus, life as a cop during COVID and after the George Floyd death in MN.

Detective Foster talks about a 43% drop in officers in Midtown from 2001-2022. Vice squad, surveillance unit, major theft and gang units all dissolved. Replaced by a community response team that leaves police less ability to do any focused effort well.

Staffing, pay, lack of city support. A bombshell interview.
