It has been a lively week since we published “Real Troopers & Beeper Days,” our latest feature about law enforcement improprieties subtitled, “Consultants told Mass State Police how to avoid turmoil. The department ignored the advice and spent the following two decades spiraling toward boundless corruption.”

In addition to appearing in DigBoston, the article has also been published by our frequent partners at the Shoestring in Western Mass, and it will also run in the upcoming issue of the Bay State Banner. And on Tuesday, BINJ Editorial Director Chris Faraone joined the afternoon team on Bloomberg Radio Boston to discuss this latest story and the many that have come before it. You can stream or download the interview below (BINJ segment begins at 22:44).
