Across America today it is impossible to escape our current, often times very heated, discussion about the police.
In some communities there are protests against and calls to defund the police.
Other communities offer overwhelming support of their police and are pleased with their local police departments.
Often, we do not have the opportunity to have a real conversation with a police officer about their views and opinions.
Even rarer, I would guess, would be the opportunity to discuss policing with a 33 year veteran of law enforcement who offers a unique prospective.
Today we are having a conversation with, Major David Hughes the Professional Standards Bureau Chief for The Newport News VA Sheriff’s Office since 2014.
