THE BLUE VIEW PODCAST
In recent years, tensions between law enforcement and certain segments of the
community have escalated. One local high school student has experienced this
tension up close, inspiring him to take action.
Two years ago, Jasur Talipov launched the Trust The Badge Podcast to foster
trust between the community and law enforcement.
He has recorded around 20 episodes featuring conversations with current
officers, politicians, and citizens. While he acknowledges the legitimate incidents
that have cast police in a negative light, he believes that law enforcement still has
a positive impact within our communities.
On this episode of the Blue View Podcast, National President Patrick Yoes sits
down with Jasur to discuss what inspired him to speak up in support of law
enforcement, and how we can heal divides in our communities.
