Coming Wednesday: Behind The Blue Wall

Behind the Blue Wall is a WPLN News investigation, produced in partnership with APM Reports, about how law enforcement treat their own.

This is not the same story about policing you’ve heard before. In this series, we’re going to tell you about what’s been described as a toxic culture of misconduct and retaliation within the Metro Nashville Police Department. And the disciplinary system that has allowed that culture to thrive.

Hear the complete radio special by tuning in at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 29, at 90.3 WPLN News, or follow WPLN News Investigates on your favorite podcasting app.

This story was produced as part of APM Reports’ public media accountability initiative, which supports investigative reporting at local media outlets around the country. Support also came from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
