In this episode of Built Different, host Colin Ledbetter sits down with two 6th District officers to talk about policing North St. Louis through COVID, manpower shortages, rising and falling crime trends, and the reality behind the headlines.

Brett and Jessica share raw stories from patrol — from vehicle pursuits and violent crime to saving stray dogs and working animal abuse cases — plus what’s changed inside the justice system and on the streets.

Real perspective. Real experience. No filters.
