Ep. 94: Gangs, Drugs, and Punk Rock n' Roll w/ B.C. Sanders

Blue Grit Radio : the better cops and community podcast

B.C. Sanders is a recently retired homicide lieutenant, gang expert, and presenter. During his career, he served on various proactive units, to include Gang Suppression Unit, homicide unit as a detective and later as a sergeant, intel sergeant, and other units.
He is known for developing sources, actionable gang intelligence, motivating others to learn and work gangs, and pushing disruption initiatives to reduce violence.
We talk a gamut of topics- with BC being the gang guru, (my words) or gang whisperer as coined by others. He shares about how he was able to connect with people on the street from TALKING, in a meaningful way to combat crime AND build relationships.
BC details lessons in learning through experience from his own upbringing as it shapes his purpose and outlook in law enforcement (and truly life). This is a conversation of value for rookies and veteran officers alike- with investigative notes to examples of proactive policing and community engagement with real intel.

BC currently hosts “The Disruptors Podcast with BC & Ski” in which he interviews bands, undercover investigators, gang members, skinheads, recovering addicts, mercenaries, and more. He is also the co-host of “NIGHTSHIFT with Andrea Up Late.” Both shows are on all listening platforms and Youtube.
Recently, he was featured in James Patterson’s national best seller, WALK THE BLUE LINE, a nonfiction book sharing experiences of cops across the country.
