On this week's episode of The Police Defense Podcast, LELDF President Jason Johnson talked with 30-year police veteran Sergeant Mike McGrew about the pressures that police work places on an officer's life. McGrew worked some of his city’s most gruesome cases, from the violent homicide of a suburban housewife to the devastating molestation of dozens of children by priests at a local Catholic church. He experienced the chaos during the LA riots and negotiated with a killer on live radio. Still, nothing could prepare him for the suffering he’d encounter in his personal life, including the death of a child and his own battle with stage three colon cancer. His book, A Higher Call to Duty details Mike’s journey to redemption.
