Josh & Patrick sat down with Atascadero's Police Chief, Jerel Haley, to continue the conversations around current social issues including COVID, racism & police brutality, Black Lives Matter, and defunding the police. We also explore Atascadero-specific issues like the transient population, mental health, parking, economic development, and recreational marijuana. This episode is full of great information and perspective from someone that has dedicated his life to public service. It will be abundantly clear that Chief Haley cares about his community and the men & women that he works with. Let us all remember that law enforcement officers are human beings working in a very challenging profession. Let's continue to be part of the solution, seeking to understand by having difficult conversations and respecting people that might think differently than we do.
