Show Notes
Citizens Behind the Badge founders Craig Floyd, Dennis Collins, and Bill Erfurth reveal how their 5-year mission transformed the national conversation from "defund" to "refund" law enforcement. After cities slashed hundreds of millions from police budgets following 2020, the devastating consequences became undeniable: homicides surged 30%, officers fled the profession, and response times skyrocketed.
But the pendulum has swung back hard. Minneapolis restored every dollar of their $8 million police cuts. A 53% drop in officer line-of-duty deaths proves increased public compliance. Senate resolutions now celebrate law enforcement instead of condemning it. The hosts expose how media lies about "systemic racism" crumbled against cold statistics: 99% of 62 million annual police interactions involve zero misconduct.
