What does a York County police chief really think about criminal defense attorneys, body cameras, police surveillance, and the people who end up in the criminal justice system?
On a recent episode of Now We Defend, Kearney Law attorneys T.L. Kearney, Tim Long, and Justin Baran sat down with West York Borough Police Chief Matt Millsaps for a candid conversation from the other side of the courtroom.
They discussed how policing in York County has changed, why body cameras won over a skeptical chief, what officers actually look for during hiring, how social media affects traffic stops, why police and defense attorneys do not have to be enemies, and what it means to lead a department through tragedy.
York County Police Chief Matt Millsaps talks body cams, defense lawyers, surveillance, officer hiring and modern policing.
