The police in America belong to the people\u2014not the other way around. Yet millions of Americans experience their cops as racist, brutal, and trigger-happy: an overly aggressive, militarized enemy of the people. For their part, today\u2019s officers feel they are under siege\u2014misunderstood, unfairly criticized, and scapegoated for society\u2019s ills. Is there a fix? Former Seattle Police Chief Norm Stamper believes there is. Be sure to join us for a lively conversation taking on the most controversial of law enforcement issues.

He has a Ph.D. in Leadership and Human Behavior and is the author of two books, Breaking Rank: A Top Cop\u2019s Expose of the Dark Side of American Policing and To Protect and Serve: How to Fix America\u2019s Police. He is currently at work on a novel, a trilogy actually.
