On the next Charlotte Talks: “wandering officers.”
A three-part investigative series launched this week by the Carolina Public Press looks at hundreds of former law enforcement officers across North Carolina, their accusations of misconduct, and their re-hiring by other agencies across the state.
Some of these officers have been accused of criminal and violent activity, which can harm public safety, cost taxpayers, and be a liability for agencies.
Analyses of state data show this problem reaches every corner of North Carolina. Conversations with people directly affected reveal where the system works — and where it fails.
We speak to those responsible for the reporting around this project and what could be done.
