Ep. 7 Lt. Chris Cook, PIO of the Arlington Police Dept., discusses issues facing LE around the country.

Lt. Christopher Cook, Public Information Officer for the Arlington Police Department in Texas has a unique perspective on issues facing police departments around the country because he is involved in three of the largest police and communications organizations in the world: Major Cities Chiefs, The International Association of Chiefs of Police and the National Information Officers Association.  We talk about the toll defunding and riots are taking on officers. We discuss the death of George Floyd and the experiences of our black and brown communities. We examine use of force and LE transparency. He talks about my new favorite idea: launching Body Cam footage of the week, a wonderful way to show all the good encounters officers have with their communities. And he shares memories from his 25-year career.
