Verbal Judo and Drug Interdiction for Police, What Is It?

Image
  West Palm Beach, Fl -  In policing, success is no longer measured solely by arrests or drug seizures.

They Said It Could Not Be Done: Police Undercover With the Crips

Image
  West Palm Beach, Fl - For years, the consensus in law enforcement circles was clear: it simply couldn't be done. Infiltrating a violent street gang like the Crips, especially as a white officer crossing deep racial, cultural, and territorial lines, was viewed as too risky, too improbable, and ultimately impossible to sustain safely or effectively. Then one determined Texas cop stepped forward and proved everyone wrong. Tegan Broadwater, a veteran of the Fort Worth Police Department, spent nearly two years deeply embedded in one of the most notorious Crips sets operating in Fort Worth. What started as skepticism, and even outright mockery, from some colleagues evolved into one of the department's most impactful undercover operations ever.
