Does policy allow this? Can p...

On this episode of Lock’d Up with Copville , we provide an update on the case against Officer Salvatore Oldrati. Sal responded to a dangerous situation and, in my opinion, did what any cop would have done under the same circumstances. Instead of being supported for doing his job, he was arrested and indicted. I believe this case is an example of New Jersey’s attack on law enforcement and one of th...

I’ve interviewed numerous former cops from agencies across the country, and somehow, the story is almost always the same. Different badge. Different agency. Different state. Same damn story. Good cops speak up, question leadership, report misconduct, challenge favoritism, or simply refuse to play the political game—and suddenly, they become the problem. Transfers. Bogus investigations. Selective d...

Being prepared to fight also means knowi...
