About this episode

Marlon Marrache discusses the role of internal affairs in policing and its historical context.

Marlon Marrache, a 24-year Los Angeles Police Department veteran who spent half that time investigating police misconduct, joins me to discuss how internal affairs is the first line of defense between a police department and its community. We touch on the 1991 Rodney King beating, the O.J. Simpson trial, the impact of the Watts Uprising, what became known as the Rampart scandal and more.
