Betsy Brantner Smith sits down with retired federal agent Peter J. Forcelli, whose 35-year law enforcement career spans street policing in the Bronx and federal investigations.\nForcelli recounts his path from a TV-inspired NYPD rookie to a respected federal agent who took on both violent criminals and a complacent justice system. The conversation offers a firsthand look at the failures of modern prosecution, the dangers of “woke” criminal justice policies, and why accountability — not leniency — is the key to public safety.From Beat Cop to Homicide Detective: Forcelli reflects on walking a Bronx beat, working homicides, and partnering with federal agencies that got real results.Why Prosecution Matters: He argues that violent crime spikes not because of guns but because prosecutors refuse to keep violent offenders behind bars.Broken Windows Policing: Forcelli defends the proven success of proactive policing — stopping minor crimes to prevent major ones — and warns what happens when cities abandon it.The Cost of “No Foot Pursuit” Policies: From Chicago to Virginia, new restrictions on basic policing tactics embolden criminals and endanger communities.🌐 Website: www.peterjforcelli.com","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/gU-brZq1Gm21YyE94essDL79z5Uk7gncxiqyucCIgqg/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jOTgx/NjVlNWM0MDNkZDQ0/MDdjMjgwYmQ2MzNk/M2Y5Ni5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
