Minority Recruitment in Policing is it Failing?

One of the things I promised the people who have followed me on Facebook is that the radio show would always be OUR radio show.  I let them name it and I’ve always said that if any of them had an idea for a show or something  they wanted addressed then we would do it.  One catch is that the person with the idea would be the Guest.  It’s an inclusive thing here.  Ernest Simmons thought more black people entering into policing would be a great show.  Well this Saturday on Behind the Blue Curtain.  we’re going to talk about Police Recruitment of Minorities.  Why should minorities trust or want to be involved in policing?  It has its rewards, its trade-offs and its setbacks so why would a African American, Hispanic American, Asian American or American Indian want to get into this job?  What benefits does it offer?  What are the benefits to the city that hires them and what is the ultimate cost.  Join us this week on Behind the Blue Curtain, Saturday at 10 AM (Central) m 11 AM (Eastern) and 9 AM on the West Coast.  I do not speak for the City of Waco, the Waco Police Department, its Officers, or Civilian Employees or the citizens of Waco.  My opinions are my personal opinion based on my personal and professional experiences.
