Episode notes
What can we do to bring accountability to policing for the sake of both the public and police officers themselves? Today, we’re talking with special guest Jeff Wenniger, a retired LAPD Lieutenant who spent more than 30 years in law enforcement and is now an advocate for how to rethink law enforcement—grounded in trust, integrity, and true community partnership.
We’re also joined by IJ senior attorney Patrick Jaicomo, who leads IJ’s efforts to dismantle the legal doctrines that block accountability for police officers and other officials.
Today we talk with Jeff and Patrick about why policing needs more accountability, what cops really think about qualified immunity, and how we can make policing better for everyone.
