Cheryl Dorsey

Retired Sergeant Cheryl Dorsey, formerly of the Los Angeles Police Department, (LAPD) knows the streets.

She offers an insider's view on issues making headline news relating to abuse under the color of authority such as use of force, racial profiling and deadly force. As a Black female, she brings her perspective to such issues as police brutality, work-related discrimination, retaliation, sexism, domestic abuse, etc.
