Episode 1: Mike Rallings

For our first episode, we sat down with Memphis Police Department Director Mike Rallings. A Memphis native and long-time member of the force, Rallings was promoted to this position last summer. You may recall his successful and well-received handling of the protest that shut down the I-40 bridge. We spoke to Director Rallings about the appropriate number of officers for Memphis, the challenges of community policing, and his decision to reject the recommendations of the Community Law Enforcement Review Board.
