Police are in the news every day - sometimes for heroic deeds and sometimes being blamed for problems in the street. Today's guest, Dennis Zine, an award-winning police officer with over 50 years on the Los Angeles Police force, has seen it all. He rose to the rank of Sergeant II and is still on the streets as a Reserve officer. He takes us behind the scenes to talk about everything you wanted to know about the police - from why crime has risen, what this means for police officers, why police stood back at the school shooting in Texas and what protocol is supposed to be, how defunding the police and protests against police have affected the morale of officers, caused many to leave the force and others to commit suicide, what officer involved shootings are really about, etc. etc.
Everyday we are bombarded with stories in our newspapers, on television and on the radio that make it seem as though society is spiraling out of control. But just when everything in the world seems insane, Dr. Carole Lieberman creates a sanctuary for sanity. Call or log in to get help making sense of these turbulent times or just for advice from a soothing voice. “Dr. Carole’s Couch” broadcasts each Tuesday at 1pm Pacific (4pm Eastern) on the VoiceAmerica begin_of_the_skype_highlighting end_of_the_skype_highlighting Channel.
