The Cost of Failed Justice Policies: Officers Across the Country Are Paying With Their Lives with Bill Young

Officers across the country are paying with their lives for failed justice policies. In December of 2022, a Riverside County Sheriff Deputy was murdered by a lifelong felon with an extensive criminal history dating back to before 2000. This monster was only on the streets because the County Judge allowed him to be free on bail following his most recent conviction for a violent felony, which was his third strike. On this episode of the Blue View Podcast, National FOP President Patrick Yoes sits down with Bill Young, President of the Riverside Sheriff’s Association (RSA). The RSA, which is one of the newest FOP lodges, represents over 3,500 law enforcement officers.   00:00 – Intro 00:47 – About Bill Young 02:32 – Officers Down 12:38 – The Cost of Failed Justice Policies 22:33 – The Recruitment and Retention Crisis 29:42 – Joining the Largest Law Enforcement Organization in the U.S. 31:52 – Final Thoughts   ➖➖➖   We Are the # Voice of America’s Law Enforcement Officers.
