I Have to Do It with Rashad Sharif

Rashad was a Senior Lead Officer, now a Reserve Officer for the Los Angeles Police Department. During his time at the LAPD, he’s gone undercover, worked during the 1992 Los Angeles Riots (or the Los Angeles Uprising), was named West Los Angeles Officer of the year in 2012, and worked in the Community Engagement Section which coordinates Days of Dialogue events.

During this conversation, Rashad talks about:

  • Policing from a Black police officer’s perspective

  • Why he dreaded coming to work after George Floyd’s murder

  • Situations that caused his relationships with fellow police officers to sour

  • The thought process he goes through when encountering situations of high personal risk

…and much more!
