Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why has the New Orleans police department announced a new hiring program? Who are they hiring? Michael explains that they are hiring civilians to do some tasks to free up trained officers for other duties.

Why hire civilians? Will this place citizens at risk? What would Michael do differently? Michael has some great suggestions to keep civilians safe.

Why can’t police departments recruit, train, and staff necessary positions which require licensed police officers? Michael explains that lack of funding is partly to blame, but the attacks from Black Lives Matter bring on an entirely different set of issues.
