Retired California Highway Patrol Assistant Chief Dr. Jonni Reddick joins the Internal Affairs A Police Podcast for a powerful, candid conversation.

From her first bitter encounter with IA as a young female officer to losing an officer under her command in the line of duty, Dr. Reddick shares the raw realities of discipline, leadership failures, and the human cost of the badge.

Now a doctoral-educated author, professor, and consultant, she discusses her memoir “Black, White and Blues: Surviving the Sifting,” the urgent need for people-centric leadership, and why law enforcement remains one of the most transferable and noble careers—if you’re willing to grow through the pain.
