Beyond the Badge with Sgt. Sherman Hayes: Justice Served.

In this episode of Beyond the Badge, Sergeant Sherman Hayes from #TeamCPD’s Violent Crimes Unit joins us to talk about justice—both served and still in progress. He walks us through a recent case that ended in conviction, highlighting the behind-the-scenes work that led to the courtroom win. We also dig into CPD’s high solvability rate, why it matters, and what sets the department apart. Plus, Sgt. Hayes shares what keeps him up at night—cold cases that still don’t have answers.

We also shine a light on his new television project, Beyond the Yellow Tape, airing soon on WXTX Fox 54, which aims to give the public an inside look at how detectives work some of the city’s toughest cases. It’s a candid conversation about justice, persistence, and the people behind the investigations.
