To Protect and Serve with Prof. Norm Stamper
The police in America belong to the people—not 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.

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. Norm Stamper was a police officer for 34 years, the first 28 in San Diego, the last six (1994-2000) as Seattle’s police chief. He has a Ph.D. in Leadership and Human Behavior and is the author of two books, Breaking Rank: A Top Cop’s Expose of the Dark Side of American Policing and To Protect and Serve: How to Fix America’s Police. He is currently at work on a novel, a trilogy actually. To learn more about Provocative Enlightenment Radio, go to http://www.provocativeenlightenment.com
