Zach Hamilton believes there is a better way. In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley speaks with Hamilton, founder of Red Watch Productions and a Michigan public information officer, about \"The Shift,\" a documentary series that follows officers through the realities of patrol. A former Hollywood visual effects artist who worked on productions including \"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds\" and \"Cry Macho,\" Hamilton shares how agencies can use authentic video storytelling to build trust, show the human side of policing and give communities a clearer view of what officers actually do between the headlines.
