Podcasts about Detroit Police Department

Former Lieutenant John Kennedy was a decorated officer with the Detroit Police Department—a man driven by a deep desire to help others, protect the innocent, and bring criminals to justice. Over the course of his career, he was shot at multiple times, struck by a car, arrested countless suspects, and even served on close protection detail, prepared to take a bullet for someone else.But today, this officer with a spotless record finds himself on the other side of the justice system. Kennedy faced federal charges and ultimately served time in connection with a Detroit towing company corruption scheme—an investigation that saw numerous police officers and city officials charged with bribery.In this episode, I sit down with John, now back home on parole after completing his prison sentence. We talk about his time behind bars, what life is really like for a former law enforcement officer in prison, and whether the experience has changed his perspective on incarceration—and the people who end up there.Join the One Minute Remaining Jury via Appl + HERE and get OMR early and ad free for as little as $1.69 a week!Become a Jury member on Patreon and find us on Facebook here.Tix to True Cime? the LIVE show with me and Comedy's Ed Kavalee here Hosted on Acast.

This week, Drewby and Yergy head back over to Detroit to discuss a case that's been heavily requested here in 2025, and that's the case of 13-year-old Na'Ziyah Harris. Na'Ziyah was a beautiful little girl who was failed by quite literally all of the adults in her life. This led her directly into the path of Jarvis Butts, a 42-year-old known child predator. As of the date of release in May of 2025, Na'Ziyah has never been found, but is believed to be deceased. The only suspect? Jarvis Butts.  ⭐If you have any information regarding the whereabouts of Na'Ziyah Harris, please contact the Detroit Police Department's Major Crimes Division at 313-596-2260 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP.

This thought-provoking episode explores the transformative potential of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for incarcerated individuals. Join us as we delve into the unique challenges faced by those in prison, including trauma, mental health struggles, and the stigma of incarceration. 1.8 million people are incarcerated in the U.S., and each year, 650,000 people reenter society and return to their communities. Many have high ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences Scores) and childhood neglect histories, contributing to the likelihood of reoffending. We speak with Dr. Sandra Paulsen and Ret. Lt. Ken Gardner, a 34-year veteran of the Detroit Police Department who became an EMDR therapist, discusses how this innovative therapy can help inmates process traumatic experiences and foster resilience. Tune in to understand the significance of mental health support for those behind bars and the hopeful possibilities that EMDR therapy can offer in breaking the cycle of trauma and recidivism. Whether you are a mental health advocate, a corrections professional, or simply curious about this approach, this episode will inspire you to reconsider the narrative around rehabilitation and healing in the justice system.ResourcesThe EMDR Therapy butterfly hug method for self-administered bilateral stimulation, Jarero, I., & Artigas, L.

The morning after, it is revealed that the cop our protagonist killed was under investigation by Internal Affairs. When they find the staged suicide, it is discovered that the CI at the center of IA's investigation has been killed and was in the trunk of the car. Frank and Joe are put on the case to solve the murder that they perpetrated. Along with following the twisted goings on of their investigation, we also see some of the criminal elements surrounding the crooked cops of the Detroit Police Department.

The Murder Of Her Police Partner, Patrick Prohm. Her Police Officer's Nightmare. She Tells What Happened, Her Pain, Treatment By The Department, The Injustice After. Plus, Her Journey to Build Her Life After the Murder of Police Officer Patrick Prohm.  Detroit Police Officer Patrick Prohm stopped a stolen car on January 9, 1996, that he and other officers did not know was being driven by suspects in an earlier shooting. One of the suspects shot Officer Prohm in the head, killing him. Retired Detroit Police Officer Donna Wudyka is our guest. She and other officers were on scene, returned fire and arrested the shooter, thinking no shots hit him. The shooter died from a bullet wound to the chest after arriving at the detention area. Police Officer Prohm is survived by his three children, parents, six siblings, nieces, and nephews. Donna talks about the horrible incident, the treatment by the Detroit Police Department after. She also talks about the trauma, and her recovery which led to writing her books, one of which is "Officer's Nightmare".

Facial-recognition software is leading to wrongful arrests, but the secrecy around the use of the technology makes it hard to know just how often it happens. So far, there are at least five known cases in which police use of facial-recognition algorithms have led to mistaken-identity arrests in the United States. All five were Black men. Nate Freed Wessler is part of the team representing one of those men in a case against the Detroit Police Department. He’s also a deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Speech, Privacy, and Technology project. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Wessler about facial-recognition technology and why it leads to these outcomes.

Carjackings have been on the rise nationwide, with major cities like Philadelphia, Chicago, DC, and New Orleans all citing a jump in this particular criminal activity over the past two years.  As troubling as the trend is for police departments and civilians across the country; there is increased concern over the fact that statistics show that teenagers are driving the increase in carjackings.  Detroit Police Chief James White joined host Lisa Brady on the Rundown recently to explain the reasons why he believes the number of youth carjackings has been climbing in America and why he feels there needs to be more focus on reducing juvenile crime in general. Chief White discusses police programs that he says work to deter young people from criminal activity, and how his Detroit Police Department has brought down violent crime despite the increase in auto thefts.  Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the conversations in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire interview with Detroit Police Chief James White and hear more about the motivations behind carjackings and his thoughts on how we can reduce crime in American cities.  Learn more about your ad choices.

On Thursday, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Robert Hur as the Special Counsel overseeing the probe into President Biden's classified documents. The news comes as another independent Special Counsel investigates former President Trump and the classified documents found at his Mar-a-Lago home. FOX News Sunday Host Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to discuss the similarities and differences between the two investigations, House Republicans' plans with the new Congress, and questions surrounding the Federal Aviation Administration's system shortage.   Carjackings have been on the rise nationwide, with major cities like Philadelphia, Chicago, DC and New Orleans all citing a jump in this particular criminal activity over the past two years. The carjacking trend has concerned police departments across the country; however, the greater concern is placed on the fact that statistics show this crime is rising among teenagers and other juveniles. Detroit Police Chief James White joins the Rundown to explain the reasons why youth carjackings have been increasing in America, police programs that work to deter young people from criminal activity, and how his Detroit Police Department has brought down violent crime.   Plus, commentary from Fox News Contributor and Host of ‘WSJ At Large,' Gerry Baker.
