When correctional officer Valentino Rodriguez first stepped behind prison walls, he wasn't just starting a job, he was joining a family. What he didn’t know was that he was now bound by an unwritten code that would ultimately test his loyalty to his oath and his fellow officers. Five years later, Valentino's sudden death would raise questions from the FBI, his family and his mentor in the elite investigative unit where they both worked. This season, join us as we follow in Valentino’s footsteps to uncover the secrets hidden inside the most dangerous prison in California: New Folsom.

    Introducing On Our Watch from NPR and KQED

    What happens to police officers who use excessive force, tamper with evidence or sexually harass someone? In California, internal affairs investigations were kept secret from the public — until a recent transparency law unsealed thousands of files. On Our Watch is a limited-run podcast from NPR and KQED that brings you into the rooms where officers are interrogated and witnesses are questioned to find out who the system of police accountability really serves, and who it protects.

    In the small Northern California town of Rio Vista, a woman named Katheryn Jenks calls 911 for help. But after the police arrive, she ends up injured and inside a jail cell, facing serious charges. That same day, California Governor Jerry Brown signs a new law, State Senate Bill 1421, that opens up long hidden records of police misconduct, including files that might change the outcome of Jenks' case.

    One officer in Los Angeles used car inspections to hit on women. In the San Francisco Bay Area, another woman says an officer used police resources to harass and stalk her. The California Highway Patrol quietly fired both of them for sexual harassment, but never looked into whether their misconduct was criminal. The second episode of On Our Watch examines the system of accountability for officers who abuse their power for sex and exposes where that system falls short. Learn more about your ad choices.

Exceptionally done. First hand interviews with the victims, recordings of the police in their own words. Looking forward to their next podcast.

Wow! The disappointments from the police never end

So grateful to have this information presented so well. Since laws passed stating law enforcement now has to "Show their work" when it comes to internal issues, herein are spotlights shown on a staggering amount of misconduct (that typically goes completely unpunished). It's twisted the scary stuff they can get away with..

As long as law enforcement cover for one another, there will never be change. Unfortunately, one of the consequences is distrust from the black and brown communities. Law enforcement was created with racism and to this day has not evolved
