Cop in the 'hood

Peter Moskos spent more than a year as a Baltimore police officer, assigned to the violent Eastern District of the city. He is also an assistant professor of law, police science and criminal justice at the John Jay College at the City University of New York. Coming up after the news at 1 pm on Midday, we’ll hear about Peter Moskos’ experience in the Eastern District and how those experiences shape his view of modern policing in big cities. How should police department’s approach persistent drug trafficking? Should police officers spend more time preventing crime than reacting to it – and how exactly would they do that. Cop In the ‘Hood, 1-2 pm today on Midday, 88.1 FM, WYPR.
