We can't control everything in police culture and we certainly can't control how outsiders talk about police, but we can control our attitudes and our end of the relationships within the department. Today's guest is Eric Tung, a police commander and the host of the podcast Blue Grit Radio. Eric wants to talk about the empathy or lack thereof that exists between officers and between the officers and commanders. How they communicate better and how each member of the team work to make the team better, regardless of outside influences.
