Episode 41: Justin Hanrahan (Watertown Police Chief)
Meet Justin Hanrahan! He's the Police Chief here in Watertown. In our conversation we get into his unconventional childhood and how the Watertown community was important in getting him through it, his early experiences in policing from protecting "boothies" to a career defining moment that instilled in him that policing is much more than just catching criminals,
his rise through the ranks in Watertown and the shift in culture he's been a part of, his impact in teaching and training departments all over the state, the changes he's enacted in his time as chief and the programs and initiatives he's looking forward to in the future.
