In this gripping special episode of The IA Guy A Police Podcast, host Marlon Marrache reunites with LAPD Historian Peter Harris—post-HR 218 qualification in Tennessee—for a deep dive into the Board of Rights' origins.

Born as 1916 "Trial Boards" amid brutality scandals, power struggles, and Prohibition-era station orgies, it evolved through abolitions, charter amendments, and reforms under chiefs like August Vollmer and James Davis. Marlon and Peter Harris, drawing from Internal Affairs prosecutions and *The LAPD Badge*, debate its controversies: fair safeguard or biased rubber stamp?

Uncover a century of tension between discipline and due process. Tune in for LAPD insiders and history buff and let us reflect in this rich history!
