In this episode, Kiran Chawla is joined by East Baton Rouge Parish Constable Terrica Williams to discuss her push for a pay raise for the constable’s office, coinciding with a historic increase recently approved for the Baton Rouge Police Department (BRPD). Constable Williams emphasizes that her support for the BRPD’s raise does not diminish the need for her deputies to receive similar recognition for their work in law enforcement.
