China is rapidly expanding its military engagement with African countries through a combination of joint exercises, growing arms sales, officer training programs, and deeper security cooperation under its Global Security Initiative. This widening footprint is generating unease in the United States, where policymakers and analysts are particularly worried about unsubstantiated claims that the PLA is seeking to build a base somewhere along Africa's Atlantic coast. Paul Nantulya, a research associate at the Africa Center for Strategic Studies in Washington, and Paa Kwesi Wolseley Prah, a post-doctoral fellow at Lingnan University in Hong Kong, join Eric & Géraud to explain why Chinese security outreach is getting so much traction across Africa.

In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley sits down with Brenda Tate, a trailblazer whose 40-year career with the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police unfolded at a time when few women wore the badge and even fewer Black women were in uniform. Tate reflects on breaking barriers in the 1970s while navigating racism, sexism, personal loss and addiction — experiences she chronicles in her memoir, “Journal of a Black Woman in Blue: Navigating Abuse, Addiction, Racism, and Society.” Her story offers a candid look at survival, service and what it takes to rebuild trust, purpose and identity in policing. Handpicked for both witness protection and dignitary protection, Tate earned the confidence of department leadership during some of Pittsburgh's most challenging years. She helped establish the city's witness protection unit amid escalating gang violence, applying both tactical skill and lived experience to protect vulnerable witnesses. Later, her work in dignitary protection placed her alongside presidents, world leaders and civil rights icon Rosa Parks — assignments that highlighted the quiet responsibility and professionalism behind the scenes. For Tate, these roles were more than career milestones; they affirmed that perseverance and accountability can redefine both reputation and self-worth.

Ep. 80 - Joining me is Jim Dudley, host of Police1's acclaimed podcast Policing Matters. Jim was with the San Francisco Police Department for 32 years, rising to the rank of Deputy Chief. He takes us back to policing in San Francisco in the 1980s and walks through how the profession — and crime itself — evolved over the decades, from the crack epidemic to today's open drug use and reforms impacting law enforcement like reducing felony charges to misdemeanors. He reflects on his time as an Investigator in the Bureau of Inspectors, working cases ranging from burglary and property crimes to domestic violence, assaults, and serious violent offenses.Jim also speaks candidly about the critical incident in which he used deadly force to save his own life and his partner's during a struggle with an armed suspect. We discuss the reality of being investigated after a fatal use-of-force incident, the emotional toll that follows, and how that experience shaped his leadership style when supporting officers navigating their own critical incidents.Since retiring in 2013, Jim has continued serving the profession as the host of Policing Matters and as a criminal justice instructor at San Francisco State University, where he has taught for 14 years. We touch on a topic of particular interest to me and that is the impact criminal justice professors can have on framing the national narrative on policing. Thank you, Jim.I also want to thank the listeners who I mention in the episode: @Luv fitness pal and @Emandagat01left very kind words in their five-star reviews on Apple podcasts.

It's National Apprenticeship Week, and the next generation of our industry's leaders provides the backdrop for this episode of Highways Voices, which focuses on the growing role apprenticeships can play in solving the highways and transport sector's ongoing skills shortages.Today, host Paul Hutton speaks with Ben Harrison, an apprentice data scientist at National Highways, whose career path is far from traditional - he moved from being a trainee detective with West Yorkshire Police into his current technology-focused position shaping the future of our strategic road network.Subscribe to Highways Voices free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts or Pocket Casts and never miss an episode!The conversation highlights how apprenticeships are no longer just an option for school leavers, but a practical route for career changers seeking to retrain without stepping away from full-time employment.Ben Harrison reflects on how, at 18, he lacked awareness of the opportunities available, noting that most of his peers automatically followed the university route, and his hindsight-driven view gives the discussion a relatable edge, particularly for younger listeners facing similar crossroads today.Crucially, the podcast also provides an accessible insight into what data science looks like inside National Highways. Harrison describes a working life split between structured learning and real-world project delivery, including involvement in the development of a customer contact chatbot now live on the organisation's website. The episode paints a picture of apprentices contributing immediately, not in minor support roles, but in meaningful operational work tied directly to public-facing services.Alongside the technical discussion, there is a clear emphasis on personal development and organisational culture. Our guest speaks positively about the support offered from colleagues, senior leadership, and delivery partners, and describes the level of trust placed in apprentices as a major benefit. He also acknowledges the pressures of balancing study commitments with live project deadlines, offering a realistic account of the challenges involved in learning on the job.The episode ultimately positions apprenticeships as a strategic tool for the highways sector, not just a training scheme. With references to AI sustainability initiatives and future-focused career progression, the discussion frames early talent development as essential to building long-term leadership and technical capability. If you're interested in skills policy or workforce planning (and you should be!), the podcast delivers a timely and grounded example of how industry recruitment is moving on, plus it gives you an insight into the practical use of AI in transport infrastructure.Highways Voices is brought to you with our partners the Transport Technology Forum, LCRIG, ADEPT and

Summary This conversation with two of Canada's foremost police researchers, Dr. Nick Carleton and Dr. Craig Bennell, delves into the complexities surrounding police use of force, moral injuries to officers and their families, and the impact of context-void media narratives on public perception. The topic of the conversation centers around a recent research paper by Dr. Carleton and colleagues titled “A Contextualized Assessment of Duty-Related Bodily Harm Associated with Canadian Police Officers” published in 2025 by FACETS. This discussion highlights the need for better data and understanding of duty-related bodily harm, comparing police errors to those in healthcare. The speakers emphasize the importance of context in evaluating police actions and the challenges faced in changing the narrative around policing in Canada. This is a clarion call to police leadership and those with influence to shape the role of policing in society to stand up and take action.Takeaways• 51% of the public supported defunding the police in 2020.• Police officers often face moral injury due to public perception.• The media plays a significant role in shaping narratives about policing.• Duty-related bodily harm is defined as harm caused by police while on duty.• Comparative analysis shows police errors during use of force events are significantly lower than healthcare errors.• Public understanding of police use of force is often based on misconceptions.• Media coverage often lacks context, shapes incorrect conclusions and leads to negative perceptions of police.• Police officers are often the last line of defense in social crises.• There is a need for a multi-pronged approach to improve public perception of policing.

A man was convicted by his own heartbeat — and that's just the beginning of our digital dystopia.About the GuestAndrew Guthrie Ferguson is Professor of Law at George Washington University Law School and a national expert on surveillance technologies, policing, and criminal justice. He is an elected member of the American Law Institute and the author of the PROSE Award–winning The Rise of Big Data Policing. His new book, Your Data Will Be Used Against You: Policing in the Age of Self-Surveillance (NYU Press, March 2026), examines how smart devices and digital surveillance are transforming criminal prosecution — and what the law must do to catch up.About This EpisodeFollowing yesterday's conversation with Christopher Mathias about doxxing and the ethics of unmasking, Andrew Keen turns to the legal side of the same question: what happens when the data we generate about ourselves becomes evidence? Andrew Guthrie Ferguson joins the show from Washington, D.C. to discuss his new book — a deeply researched investigation into how pacemakers, smartphones, smart cars, and doorbell cameras are being used to convict people in court, and why the law has almost nothing to say about it.The conversation moves from a man convicted by his own heartbeat to AI-powered real-time crime centres, from Eric Schmidt's infamous privacy defence to masked ICE agents in Minneapolis, and from Bentham's panopticon to Ferguson's proposed “tyrant test” — a framework for designing data protections by imagining the worst leader with access to your most intimate information.Chapters:00:00 Introduction: Digital privacy and unmasking The theme of digital privacy and what it means to be unmasked in a data-driven world01:25 Meet Andrew Guthrie Ferguson Introducing the guest and his new book on privacy, surveillance, and the law02:10 The Dual-Edged Sword of Digital Devices How our everyday devices expose everyone and the complicated trade-offs that creates03:40 From “Don't Be Ashamed” to Privacy Nuance The shift from early Silicon Valley privacy optimism to a more complex reality04:45 Regulating Government, Not Google Ferguson's focus on keeping personal data out of court rather than off corporate servers05:55 The Pacemaker Data Court Case How personal medical device data was used as evidence in a criminal trial07:30 Convicted by His Own Heartbeat An arson and insurance fraud case where heart-rate data contradicted the suspect's story09:40 Google's Three-Part Warrant System How tech companies helped shape rules for law enforcement access to location data11:15 The Fourth Amendment Digital Gap What reasonable expectations of privacy mean in the modern digital environment12:45 Digital Privileges and Intimate Data Whether certain types of personal data should be legally protected like confidential relationships14:20 Surveillance Battles on the Ground Protests, law enforcement, and the evolving intelligence dynamic in Minneapolis16:05 “Just Doing Our Job” and State Surveillance The common defence of surveillance practices and why it remains controversial18:10 The Texas Drone Fleet Drones as first responders and the expansion of aerial policing technology20:45 Real-Time Crime Centers and Mass Cameras Integrated camera networks, data fusion, and the lack of clear oversight22:50 The Tyrant Test for Privacy Laws Designing privacy protections assuming the worst possible leader has access to the data25:15 AI Supercharges Surveillance How artificial intelligence turns ordinary cameras into powerful tracking tools27:30 AI-Assisted Police Reports Using body-camera audio and AI tools to generate reports and the implications for justice29:10 No Turning Back From Technology Why abandoning digital tools isn't realistic and why new laws may be needed instead31:15 Closing: Every Smart Device Is Surveillance The idea that modern connected devices inherently function as surveillance toolsLinks & ReferencesMentioned in this episode:Your Data Will Be Used Against You — NYU PressAndrew Guthrie Ferguson — GW Law School faculty pagePerplexity for Public Safety — free AI tool for law enforcementPrevious episode: Christopher Mathias on To Catch a Fascist (Episode 2793)Carpenter v.

In 1990, New York City was a place many Americans were afraid to enter, let alone police. More than 2,600 homicides in a single year, open-air drug markets, violent subway platforms and neighborhoods ruled by fear defined daily life. What followed would become one of the most debated eras in modern policing — aggressive enforcement strategies, the expansion of stop, question and frisk, and a leadership-driven push to reclaim the streets. Decades later, those years are still argued in classrooms, courtrooms and police roll calls across the country. On this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley is joined by NYPD Detective Tom Smith, who lived that history from the inside. Smith joined the department in 1990 and was assigned to West Harlem's 30th Precinct, one of the city's busiest and most dangerous commands at the time. From anti-crime plainclothes work and gun arrests to major narcotics investigations, DEA task force operations and a post-9/11 deployment to Afghanistan, Smith's career spans local street enforcement and international investigations. He shares what policing looked like before the crime drop, how leadership and coordinated prosecution mattered, and what today's officers face in a very different New York City.

Over the past thirty-five years, the United States has quietly transformed its criminal-justice system into something resembling a permanent domestic battlefield.In this episode, we trace how successive “wars” at home—the war on crime, the war on drugs, the war on terror, and the war on immigration—have steadily altered the relationship between the citizen and the state. Each was justified as temporary. None truly ended.Drawing on constitutional history, crime data, and lived legal experience, this episode examines how fear replaced evidence as the engine of policy, even as violent crime fell dramatically across much of the country. The language of emergency survived the numbers that once justified it.We explore how punishment displaced treatment, how surveillance migrated downward toward the poor and powerless, and how federal authority expanded deep into local policing. From welfare drug testing to armored vehicles on city streets, the tools and posture of war became normalized in everyday American life.The episode also looks at what happened to the Bill of Rights under pressure—how guarantees of counsel, bail, due process, and protection from unreasonable searches were narrowed by exception, doctrine, and rhetoric. The Constitution remained on the page, but its reach shrank in practice.Finally, we examine how immigration enforcement and the war on terror completed the turn inward, creating parallel systems of justice and “Constitution-lite” zones where ordinary protections fade. The result is not chaos, but something more troubling: a stable, militarized normal.This is not a partisan argument. It is a structural one.A republic that repeatedly declares war on its own internal enemies must eventually decide whether rights are promises—or obstacles.The Mitten Channel is a network of podcasts.

Independent journalist Michael Schellenberger drops a narrative grenade

A bill would allow Indiana National Guard military police to make arrests and conduct searches when activated by the governor. The Indiana Hospital Association released a new report on Tuesday, warning that many of the state's hospitals are financially vulnerable. A bill authorizing the Indiana death penalty to be carried out by a firing squad failed to pass out of the House. A state Senate bill aims to carry out Governor Mike Braun's executive order to reduce environmental “over-regulation” to help businesses grow. New state data shows a significant shift in where families in the city are sending their children to school. Want to go deeper on the stories you hear on WFYI News Now?

Drawing on his experience from inside the Gulf region, Khalid describes what he calls an “Islamophobia industry”, how it operates across Western countries, and why questioning it often comes at a personal and professional cost. He also addresses the difference between Islam and Islamism, the role of activist organisations, and why Britain has become a particularly effective environment for this tactic.

AJC Washington bureau chief Tia Mitchell examines how a deadly federal immigration enforcement shooting in Minneapolis is reverberating through Georgia politics, as Democratic senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock threaten to block a government funding bill unless new limits on ICE are included. She explains why a partial government shutdown appears increasingly likely and how Republican challengers are seizing on the issue in a heated election year. The episode then features a recorded roundtable hosted by AJC reporters Maya T. Prabhu and Michelle Baruchman with state Reps. Yasmin Neal and Clint Crowe, both former police detectives. The lawmakers offer sharply different views on the Minnesota shooting, the role of ICE in Georgia, and how immigration enforcement affects public trust, while also identifying areas where bipartisan cooperation on public safety could still emerge under the Gold Dome.

Part 2 of 2. OA 1230 - Seeing all the obstacles to holding government officials accountable, Congress created Section 1983, allowing citizens to sue for money damages for violations of their civil rights. We cover how that works, the one weird trick it uses to get around state sovereign immunity, and how that accidentally created the infamous qualified immunity doctrine that has made police seemingly unaccountable.

In this conversation we speak with Ed Vogel from Southerners Against Surveillance Systems & Infrastructure about the rapid expansion of various police surveillance programs. We talk about the nexus of private corporations, policing agencies, and nonprofit foundations and organizations that facilitate the expansion of these technologies and how they seek to circumvent democratic processes and oversight mechanisms. We discuss ICE, Customs & Border Patrol, Atlanta's Cop City, Shot Spotter, Flock Safety, Fusus, and automated license plate readers. Ed also talks about what we do and don't know about the role played by corporations like Target and Home Depot in the policing surveillance network.  As we see the terror that ICE is enacting in Minneapolis, this conversation offers a set of analyses that can help us understand the problem of ICE's power beyond simply the goons kidnapping or executing people in the street. Rather than just focusing on the expanding problem, we do talk about some of the ways that local communities are fighting back and winning campaigns against the adoption of these technologies. We also talk about maintaining good digital hygiene as an act of solidarity for people in social movements.  There are a number of articles that Ed either authored, co-authored, or contributed documents to in the show description. We reference these throughout the conversation and recommend you read them for further details.  Southerners Against Surveillance Systems & Infrastructure has a hands-on digital security workshop Wednesday, February 4th. During the session they will walk through how to better protect yourself and community against how ICE is accessing phone data for their kidnappings.  Follow SASSI on IG or Bluesky or visit their website. Recently we also featured Dwayne Monroe during one of our livestreams to talk about ICE's use of the surveillance program known as Webloc, the SASSI training will address how to protect cellphone data from this program.

The crackdown in Minnesota and the deadly shootings of two U.S. citizens are raising questions about the tactics used by federal immigration agents. Amna Nawaz discussed that with former U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske. He also served as the chief of police in Seattle.

In Minneapolis, federal immigration agents shot and killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and ICU nurse, while he was filming their operation on a public street. Video evidence shows he was holding a phone — not a gun — yet the Trump administration immediately labeled him a would-be mass killer. This video breaks down what really happened, why the official story collapsed under scrutiny, and how ICE and CBP have been transformed into a heavily armed domestic paramilitary force. It examines the rapid expansion of immigration enforcement, the recruitment of ideologically extreme personnel, and the growing use of war rhetoric to justify violence against civilians — including American citizens.
