According to the numbers of officers being shot within a year, if you put that into perspective, that is a cop being shot ever 22 hours.  The war on cops is real and is only getting worse.

After loosing not only a fellow local officer to our community, but someone my husband and I grew up with and considered a good friend, I knew I needed to start using my platform to raise awareness on police brutality.

It is my true honor to be joined by FOP Vice President, Joe Gamaldi, to chat about the war on cops, what we can do to support them in our upcoming election, how to teach your children about them and so many other amazing topic around law enforcement. We even tough on the health and wellness of cops.

Thank you so much Joe for joining Informed Consent.
