Academy to Street: A Citizen’s Guide on Policing

In part two of our discussion with Dr. Reynaldo Evangelista, a former Baltimore Police Department Detective, he shares his expertise on police responsibilities, emphasizing their role as protectors of constitutional rights - that they have the utmost responsibility to keep us safe.  We dive into the appropriate use of force, and de-escalation techniques, stressing the need for better training and selection in law enforcement. Dr. Evangelista also addresses mental health challenges faced by officers, advocating for destigmatization and support, and advises citizens on their rights during arrests, underscoring the importance of compliance and remaining silent.  Dr. Evangelista and our team aim to educate listeners on navigating police interactions safely and understanding law enforcement procedures.
