With each new scandal involving law enforcement — another horrific video of misconduct, evidence of assault, or act of fatal negligence — police officials share a familiar, unnerving refrain with the public. “We’re investigating.”

On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting.
Is it the public the police are sworn to serve, or the officers themselves?
