Edwin Raymond is not just a former NYPD lieutenant—he’s a whistleblower, civil rights activist, and author who put everything on the line to expose the injustices within the system. Born and raised in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, to Haitian immigrant parents, Edwin joined the NYPD in 2008 with a mission: to bring real change from within. But what he encountered was a system built on racial profiling, arrest quotas, and corruption—so he decided to fight back.

Featured in the Emmy Award-winning documentary Crime + Punishment (2018), Edwin became one of the boldest voices challenging the NYPD’s discriminatory practices. His efforts to hold the system accountable led to both retaliation and recognition, earning him the NAACP Courage and Leadership Award.

In 2023, he took his fight even further with his memoir, An Inconvenient Cop: My Fight to Change Policing in America, revealing the untold truths of law enforcement and his personal struggles in advocating for reform. Get your copy here: 📖 Buy the book on Amazon.
