imagesInstitutional Racism in Police Departments – P.B.S Panel Discussion

Sgt. Cheryl Dorsey, Capt. John Mutz and Officer Alex Salazar discuss the growing distrust between minority communities and police forces, and what can be done to fix what many believe to be a systemic problem.
Some of the topics during their 26 minute interview are:
  • Police accountability.
  • Institutional racism.
  • PSPD in police officers.
  • Corruption.
  • Two styles of policing (rich and poor).
  • Blue wall of silence.
  • Failure of leadership.

I served over 20 years as the chief of police in Madison (WI), four years as chief of the Burnsville (MN) Police Department, and before that as a police officer in Edina (MN) and the City of Minneapolis. I hold graduate degrees from the University of Minnesota and Edgewood College in Madison. I have written many articles over my years as a police leader. After retiring from the police department, I answered a call to ministry, attended seminary, and was ordained as a priest in the Episcopal Church. After almost 30 years serving in and leading two Episcopal Churches in the Diocese of Milwaukee, I am "sort-of" in the process of retirement. Life is good.
