Hey guys, just a quick reminder that we are airing another series in our feed right now.

It's called On Our Watch. It's a collaboration between NPR and Member Station KQED.

And it's about what happens when police do something wrong. A recent law in California has

allowed reporters to get tons of information about how police investigate each other when

an officer is accused of wrongdoing. Sometimes that wrongdoing involves failing to report

sexual abuse of children. Just to heads up, this episode is not an easy one to hear. Here you go.

Hi, this is Sussuki. Before we start the show, we want to know what kinds of stories you'd like to

hear more of. Please go to npr.org slash podcast survey to let us know. That's npr.org slash podcast

survey, all one word. Thanks. I'm not going to give an excuse. There's no good reason for it.

No, no, I'm not trying to jam you up and trying to understand.

It's 2014 and Internal Affairs has taken an interest in this guy. This officer will

you know, William Yetter. It's July 14th. I'm interviewing officer William Yetter regarding

Yetter's a white guy who's been working for the Salinas Police Department for about two years

at this point, helping patrol a city of about 150,000 people, many of whom are immigrants from

Mexico and Central America. And he's been having trouble turning in his police reports on time.

Basically, it's some reports that were either missing late, not turned in, found in a later day.

And you got behind as a result of other reports. This was just one kind of a series of them.

Yes, right. Okay. And then it never dawned on me that you needed to get it finished.

It did. I just, it was kind of like I said, a snowball effect of you. You're like, I can finish

tomorrow and then before you notice a crap, I haven't turned in for a really long time.

You know, in some ways, it may not appear that serious. This guy just gets behind in his reports

and has trouble catching up again. Did it ever dawn on you when all of this stuff's going on?
