About | The Beat & The Badge. One story. Two perspectives. Where the newsroom meets the badge — journalist Melissa Sheketoff and retired Fairfield Police Chief Gary MacNamara in conversation. When a major story breaks, journalists and law enforcement can find themselves looking at the same events from very different positions.
A journalist asks questions, gathers information, challenges assumptions, and tries to help the public understand what happened.
Law enforcement responds to risk, investigates events, evaluates behaviour, and thinks about what might prevent the next incident.
The Beat & The Badge brings those perspectives together.
Hosted by journalist and broadcaster Melis
