Episode Summary:
In this episode, Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith sits down with Bert Eyler, VP of the Police Officers Defense Coalition, to discuss critical issues impacting law enforcement across the country. Bert shares insights from his career in law enforcement and explains the legislative efforts his organization is leading to protect officers, including the push to codify qualified immunity into law.
The conversation covers:
- The misconceptions surrounding qualified immunity and why it’s essential for law enforcement.
- The impact of body-worn cameras and the challenges of public perception and “Monday morning quarterbacking.”
- The growing problem of prosecutorial bias, including the prosecution of officers in Austin, Texas, under DA Garza.
- The mental health toll on officers, not from incidents themselves but from prolonged investigations and lack of support.
- How citizens can advocate for better policies and elect officials who support law enforcement.
Bert also highlights ongoing legislative efforts in Congress, including the work with Senator Jim Banks on HR 503 and S.122, and the critical importance of community support and political advocacy.
