On this Sunday’s edition of News You Can Use on WTIC Newstalk 1080 at 5:30 AM and 9:00 AM, host Ann Baldwin is joined by Bernie Hallums, former Manchester Police Officer and now a Practical Approach Speaker for the Spector Criminal Justice Training Network. With decades of firsthand law enforcement experience, Bernie offers a unique perspective on how our communities and country are navigating times of crisis and division.

Recorded on the 24th anniversary of 9/11, this episode reflects on how tragedy changes our country, while also addressing the troubling headlines of this week — including the Charlie Kirk assassination and the Iryna Zarutska murder on a Charlotte subway. Ann and Bernie discuss the potential impact these events may have on our country and how we can navigate these challenging times with the hope of living in a less divisive America. This is an important conversation to hear, no matter what side of the political spectrum you are on, as they take a hard look at where we are as a nation and where we go from here.
