CJ Evolution / February 7th / Episode 67 - The Humanity Behind the Badge Feb 07, 2017

Show notes

Hello everyone and welcome back. In this episode, Patrick talks about the Humanity Behind the Badge. During the last several years law enforcement has been portrayed in a negative light by the media and from members of our own government. Some of the criticism has been deserved, but most has been untrue and unfair. Most men and women in law enforcement are good people trying to do a difficult job. There are bad officers out there, but the majority are doing good things, and serving honorably for the departments and communities.

When US Airways Flight 1549, or "The Miracle on the Hudson," ditched into the Hudson River on January 15th, 2009, Dave Sanderson knew he was exactly where he was supposed to be.

The last passenger off the back of the plane on that fateful day, he was largely responsible for the well-being and safety of others, risking his own life in frigid water to help other passengers off the plane.

Despite the hazards to himself, Sanderson thought only of helping others and emerged from the wreckage with a mission: to encourage others to do the right thing.

Hello everyone ane welcome back. In this episode, Patrick talks with Virginia Frusteri Sollars. Virginia is the author of

She worked in the jail system for twenty-six years, caring for and treating the mentally ill. Virginia provides good advice for first responders when they come into contact with mentally ill individuals.

Virginia. not only allows her readers to participate in the day to day struggles that ensue behind the heavy steel doors of the correctional facility, but takes her readers into the thoughts, fears and secrets of the psychiatric inmates. Virginia explains the reasons why the criminal justice system has become the dumping ground for the mentally ill and why there are so few beds available to them on the outside, a matter of great concern in the United States.

CJ Evolution / January 29th / Episode 63 - Special guest - Retired Police Officer and Author Larry Watts Jan 29, 2017

Show notes

Hello and welcome back. In this episode Patrick talks with Larry Watts & his wife Carolyn Watts. Larry and Carolyn co-authored Dishonored and Forgotten (released January 2nd, 2017). With all the controversial issues in the news these days, it's especially encouraging to read a book by a seasoned policce officer who still believes that effective law enforcement is possible.

Dishonored and Forgotten is a fictional account of a 1950's narcotics scandal that rocked the Houston, Texas Police Department. One officer was dead with two gunshots to the heart and a nasty laceration on his head. The death was ruled a suicide. Another officer was sent to prison for selling heroin back to those he arrested. A captain was fired and a police chief lost his job. Dr. Julius McBride went to prison for supplying that police chief with codeine illegally. High profile federal narcotics agent George White came to Houston and challenged the locals, including the police chief, city attorney, mayor, district attorney and every officer he thought was dirty.

This story is a fictional account of those events. Its focus is on two men. Martin Billnitzer was the detective who was killed with two shots to the heart. Within hours his death was ruled a suicide. Bill Pool was a police officer who first reported the possibility of a narcotics scandal to federal authorities. His career in Houston was ruined. Both men's careers were cut short, their service dishonored, and their lives all but forgotten in the annals of Houston's history.

Larry's career in law enforcement began in Houston Texas, as a police officer. He became active in police labor issues and served on the board of directors of the Houston Police Officers' Association and the National Association of Police Associations. He retired after 21 years and began working for a state-wide association representing law enforcement officers throughout Texas, eventually becoming the Chief of Staff.

CJ Evolution / January 22nd / Episode 62 - Arizona v. Gant review Jan 22, 2017

Show notes

Hello everyone and welcome back. In this episode, Patrick reviews the 2009 Surpreme Court Case Arizona v. Gant. The issue at hand centered around the 4th Amendment. Does the Fourth Amendment require that police officers, when arresting a recent occupant of a vehicle, demonstrate either a threat to officer safety or a need to preserve evidence related to the crime in order to conduct a search of that vehicle without a warrant?
