On today's episode of On the Corner of Homeless & Criminal Justice (Part 1), hosts Joe Ader and Emma Hughes talk with
Spokane Police Sgt. Richie Plunkett to explore what the role of police is in the fight to end homelessness.
Homelessness is a complex issue. We don’t claim to explore every part of this intersection, but hope that each conversation brings new clarity to the reality as a whole. Please keep an open, curious mindset as you listen, and seek to learn, just as we are.
