Show Notes

Police departments across the country say they are chronically understaffed. The Rochester Police Department is no different. RPD is looking for new recruits. Would you consider a career in law enforcement? This hour, we sit down with RPD leaders to discuss the types of candidates they hope apply, what it takes to become a police officer, and the conditions of the job. They also share the latest with a number of RPD community initiatives, including opportunities for teens and members of the refugee community. Our guests:

  • Sergeant Justin Collins, Rochester Police Department
  • Officer Otoniel Pina, Rochester Police Department
