The Infamous Ex-Chief
The Infamous Ex-Chief is a hard-hitting podcast that exposes corruption, misconduct, and failures within the justice system without pulling punches. Hosted by a former police chief who believes in real accountability, this show dives deep into wrongful convictions, prosecutorial overreach, and law enforcement leadership gone wrong.
Each episode dissects cases that don’t add up, challenges flawed investigations, and brings hidden truths to light. Wear re pro-police, not pro-corruption because justice should be about facts, not politics.
