About this episode
This episode explores the troubling history of the Good Ol’ Boy Roundup, an event involving law enforcement that raised serious ethical concerns.
In this episode, we’re covering the disturbing history of the Good Ol’ Boy Roundup , an annual off duty gathering of law enforcement officers held along the Ocoee River in Tennessee from 1980 through the mid-1990s. What began as a simple rafting and cookout retreat grew into a large, alcohol fueled event that later drew national attention after reports surfaced of racist skits, offensive displays, and a hostile environment for minority officers and women. A federal investigation ultimately uncovered a culture of extreme misconduct and permissive behavior, raising serious questions about accountability, ethics, and how off duty conduct can impact public trust in law enforcement.
