About This Episode

Police have been fighting against officer-involved domestic violence (OIDV) for decades. In this episode, David and Ruth interview two international law enforcement experts and advocates, Mark Wynn and Tom Tremblay, who are fighting against the perpetration of domestic violence by police officers.

Mark and Tom talk about how:

  • Officer-involved domestic violence violates the public trust

  • Police executives who don’t address OIDV are colluding with criminals

  • Police officer stress is not a cause of OIDV

  • OIDV is tied to male-dominated culture in police forces

  • Use of excessive force and OIDV are connected and need to be addressed together
