When Cops Shoot - Separating Facts From Fiction. The Investigation - Police Chief George Filenko joins us to talk about the facts and reality of investigating Officer Involved Shootings. While these shootings are not frequent, fiction and myths perpetuated in the reporting of these events still continue. He talks about the lengths that Departments go through to maintain transparency, while still conducting a thorough and complete investigation to get to the truth. From using outside agencies, to body cam and dash cam video evidence, George discusses it all. In spite of all that the facts frequently don’t seem to matter to some media outlets.
