  • NYPD Body-Worn Camera Footage: Inside the 30-Day Release Policy| Executive Perspective Podcast
    Mar 31 2026

    In the Executive Perspective episode 56, Ron and Rob explore Mayor Mamdani and Commissioner Tisch’s announcement regarding the codification of the Body-Worn Camera (BWC) policy. They examine whether this policy will enhance transparency and improve police-community relations.
    Additionally, they discuss the recent NYC Council bill that would grant the Civilian Complaint Review Board independent access to BWC footage and the authority to generate complaints based on the footage. Where does the bill stand today?

    Furthermore, they delve into the recent manslaughter conviction of a former New York State Trooper who initiated a high-speed pursuit that tragically resulted in the death of an 11-year-old child.

    Join the interactive chat for an engaging and thought-provoking discussion.

  • Former NYPD Officials STRIPPED of FREE Taxpayer Funded Lawyers
    Mar 28 2026

    On this episode of New York’s Finest: Retired & Unfiltered Eric and Marlon discuss recent news of New York City declining to continue representing former Eric Adams officials Jeffrey Maddrey and Tim Pearson in their respective sexual harassment lawsuits. Was this entire ordeal a reflection of the NYPD leadership culture and political loyalties inside One Police Plaza?

    In light of the recent news of NYC's oncoming fiscal difficulties, what does this ultimately mean for taxpayers and could more inquiries of Adam's Administration improprieties be underway?

    The Finest Unfiltered provides an inside perspective on what the public may not be seeing and why events like this should concern every New Yorker.
