Host JF Carter Neubieser, BTV Progressive Party Steering Committee, chats with Mark Hughes, BTV Police Commission, about policing in Burlington.

We'll hear about what drew them to choose their path, what it took to get there, and the effort and the rewards found in working in these strongly male-dominated fields. We'll learn about the compensation for doing this critical and often dangerous work, and the training and experience required.
