5. Cop by Day, Preacher on the Side

Our hosts interview Police Officer Mangual, who serves his community in two distinct ways. By day, he works as a patrol cop in the South Bronx. In his off-duty hours, he serves as a pastor to a church community. In this episode, Officer Mangual discusses why he became a New York City police officer, and how he applies the same skill to both jobs: listening to people with "the third ear."
