What We Discuss with Tegan Broadwater:

How Tegan Broadwater went undercover and infiltrated the Crips gang for 18 months, working mostly off-the-books without proper backup or supervision.
What happened when Tegan discovered a corrupt police officer selling information to gang members and warning them of raids — while superiors ignored his detailed complaint and evidence.
How budget constraints forced dangerous solo operations rather than proper surveillance teams, using a single patrol officer as backup via an open phone line.
How Tegan's efforts successfully built a 51-person conspiracy case with FBI partnership, resulting in arrests averaging 19-year sentences and solving nine cold case murders.
Why a focus on mentoring at-risk youth is society's best chance at breaking cycles of crime — supporting children of incarcerated parents through education, job skills, and positive role models creates lasting change.
And much more...
