Hi, iHeart discover music, radio and podcast you'll love.

On this episode of Newt's World, my guest today is one of the most important voices in law enforcement

and policing in the last 50 years in the United States. So let me say also probably the most innovative

single person in dealing with the question of having a safe community. Bill Breton served as

chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, chief of the New York City Transit Police, commissioner

of the Boston Police Department and the New York City Police Department in both 1994 and 2014.

Everywhere that Breton went, he slashed crime rates and professionalized policing. He and his

team created the revolutionary program ComStat, the big bang of modern data driven policing,

but his career has not been without controversy and central to the reckoning of his new book,

the profession is the fundamental crisis of relations between the black community and law enforcement.

A crisis he now believes has been inflamed by the on-forcing consequences of some well-intentioned

policies. Building trust between a police force and the community is sworn to protect,

is in many ways, Brad Marguise, without genuine trust in law enforcement to do what is right,

little else is possible. Having watched him I work over the years and had the pros of being his

guest in Los Angeles, I cannot tell you how pleased I am to welcome my guest Bill Breton. He has a new

book, The Profession, a memoir of community, race and the arc of policing in America. It's out

now and I recommend it very highly to everyone who's concerned about how he get back to safe communities.
