Send us Fan MailA deputy police commissioner, a gang-related shooting near the Bronx Criminal Court, and allegations that put an entire family at the center of a public trust debate. In this episode, we break down what prosecutors say happened involving Jennifer Lackard, a Mount Vernon Police Department leader accused of helping her son before and after the shooting. While the legal process unfolds and the presumption of innocence remains, the case raises bigger questions about family loyalty, police accountability, and the responsibility that comes with wearing the badge. We also ask: If your adult child committed a serious crime, would you protect them—or tell them to face the consequences?

In his latest interview with Chris Steyn, former Western Cape Provincial Police Commissioner, Dr. Lennit Max hails the appointments of four new provincial commissioners. “This time around I am very pleased that the Acting National Commissioner in her wisdom decided that there's merit among people of colour.” He points out that all four appear seasoned as well. “Lieutenant General Sizakhele Dyanti in the Western Cape, got 34 years of service. Lieutenant General Arthur Adams, Northwest, 34 years of service as well. Lieutenant General Jan Scheepers, Limpopo, 38 years of service. And Lieutenant General Apapia Modise of Mpumalanga, 37 years of service. They are not people who are parachuted into those ranks.” As for the latest "heartbreaking "testimony at the Madlanga Commission, Dr Max says it is “damaging not only for Andrea Johnson, but to IDAC as a whole, the NPA, but most importantly, to government because government put these systems in place to ensure that they address the corruption in this country and we as citizens got hope that government is doing the right thing to put these systems in place and also to appoint people they believe got the necessary skill and commitment to serve our country without fear or favour. And it is totally unacceptable, and I think there must be consequences to that effect.” Lastly, Dr Max shares highlights from his autobiography which is being launched this month: “A Life That Refused to Bow”.

Today marks one year since KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi publicly revealed alleged corruption and criminal infiltration in the criminal justice system. Mkhwanazi also accused Police Minister Senzo Mchunu - who is current on special leave, of unlawfully disbanding the Political Killings Task Team and seizing its dockets. The revelations prompted the establishment of the Madlanga Commission now hearing testimony from around eighty witnesses. As South Africans reflect on the anniversary, questions remain about real accountability in the criminal justice system. We spoke to Corruption Watch's spokesperson, Janine Erasmus.

In this interview with Chris Steyn, Political Commentator Solly Moeng gives his take on the latest developments in the impeachment drama surrounding President Cyril Ramaphosa, noting: “... he is buying time for himself, definitely for other people around him whose interests would not be aided by him leaving now and a certain Paul Mashatile is immediately coming in…” Moeng calls for the recall of Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen and the removal of his Chief of Staff Jana le Roux who allegedly swore at an agri official and for sharing bemusement at farmers reaching out to the department. “...if he can't remove her, maybe they should remove him…look it's up to the DA now to prove itself, to say to Ramaphosa, look, we are withdrawing this man…” Speaking on the 50th anniversary of the June 16 1976 youth march in Soweto, Moeng slams the government for failing the youth. Describing his return last year to Diepkloof - where he grew up, he charges: “It's worse than during Apartheid.The primary school that I used to go to has got a squatter camp inside its yard…It actually made me go on to cry…..” Lastly, he comments on the Western Cape's outgoing Police Commissioner coming out in support of extending policing powers to the province.

There's fresh criticism of Labour's selection process, while the party itself continues to brush off concerns. Police are reviewing whether new Labour candidate Rakesh Naidoo shared any sensitive information with the party while deciding whether to stand. His bid for Parliament was announced on Monday after two months of discussions with Labour, but he only informed his manager last week. Police Minister Mark Mitchell told Heather du Plessis-Allan Richard Chambers is responsible for maintaining neutrality. He says the Police Commissioner should have put a plan in place to manage the perception of neutrality but was never given a chance by Labour. But Labour's Police spokesperson Ginny Andersen insists Naidoo followed the correct process. She told du Plessis-Allan it's surprising and unusual for the Commissioner to make public comments before any review's taken place. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One Man. One Mission. Justice. In the Hunt for the Gilgo Beach Serial Killer.Rodney K. Harrison's life could have gone the way of the drug dealers he grew up with in South Jamaica, Queens. Instead, a twist of fate and relentless drive led him to become the NYPD's highest-ranking uniformed officer and, later, Police Commissioner of Suffolk County on Long Island—where he engineered the arrest of the elusive Gilgo Beach serial killer.Harrison survived a false arrest as a teenager and later dodged bullets as an undercover in Brooklyn. He calmed the fallout of Eric Garner's chokehold death on Staten Island, worked shoulder-to-shoulder with outspoken community leaders in Harlem, brought Jam Master Jay's killers to justice, removed bricks from the 9/11 Twin Towers, dealt with looters during the pandemic on the streets of New York—and always advocated for every victim.This real-life Blue Bloods true crime story chronicles the triumphs, controversies, politics, and dangers that define modern policing in America's largest city.Harrison shares these true crime stories:The harrowing night his undercover partner was shot on the street.An insider's view of the investigations that shaped headlines—from Jam Master Jay to his career-defining case, putting the Gilgo Beach serial killer (he called him "the Devil that walks among us") behind bars, and the personal sacrifices and moral dilemmas behind the badge.More than a cop's story—a rare, unfiltered look at crime, justice, and resilience in New York.

Cindy Adams sits with retired officer Tom Smith discussing the eroding respect for law enforcement and the perceived failure of New York City's leadership to support the NYPD. Using a recent snowball attack on officers as a catalyst, Smith argues that a lack of firm consequences and "flippant" political rhetoric emboldens criminals while degrading officer morale. He specifically critiques the Police Commissioner's reliance on scripted responses and the Mayor's history of anti-police sentiment, suggesting these factors contribute to a dangerous "tipping point" for the city's safety.
