We sit down with Officer Tiffani Gatson, the first African American woman to join the Greece Police Department. Officer Gatson graduated from the police academy earlier this month. She told the Democrat and Chronicle that her appointment creates a positive image, and it feels surreal to be making history.
She joins us in studio along with Greece Police Chief Patrick Phelan to talk about diversifying the police force and the implications a more diverse staff can have on police-community relations. In studio:
