At a time when we’re debating where policing is going, we’re going to tell you where the police came from. Guided by Peabody award-winning host Chenjerai Kumanyika, Empire City will provide the first accessible narrative history of the American police and its place in popular culture. Who are the police? And why were police departments created in the first place? To find answers, we’re going to tell the origin story of the largest police force in the world: The NYPD. We begin in the late 1800’s at a moment when the entire police force was on trial. It’s the biggest corruption scandal in the history of the NYPD, and it all plays out like a high stakes courtroom drama. What follows is the action-packed account of how the NYPD got to this point and what happened next. It involves Black abolitionists fighting slave patrols in the courts of Gotham; two rival police forces duking it out for power at City Hall; the origins of the true crime genre; and how the NYPD spread their tactics worldwide.Listen to Empire City wherever you get your podcasts: Wondery.fm/Empire_City.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I will request to casters please share your opinions about the business model of moving companies. In my area Edmonton, there's much scope I see but unable to take final decision either I should start it or look for any other business model. I'm following this moving company https://albertafirstmoving.ca/ and if I start it, will follow their working method. BTW, what do you suggest?

Many moving firms exist, however if you're planning a move in the near future, I recommend calling https://paradisemove.com/product-details/loading-unloading/ if you need help loading and unloading your belongings. A fair price is charged for their services, as they are the best in the business. I'm delighted to recommend this product because I've already tried it and had a nice experience with it.

Wow. The store manager in LA is one in a million. Not many would have thought to go get a customer to answer a question the big boss just asked of them. It sounds crazy. She knew enough to know that the big cheese had a reason to visit all these stores, she knew this customer well enough to trust he would say the right thing, and he whole perception of the moment was on another level. Lastly, she had the selflessness and let's not forget, balls, to respond this way. Most other managers would serve up a bullshit sandwich, praising themselves, their team, then themselves some more. Hope she has risen high in the company.
