One year ago this week, a wanted parolee gunned down four Oakland police officers. New Oakland Police Chief Anthony Batts has said that this tragic event — and his desire to help — was one of the factors that motivated him to take the post. We talk with Batts about the city’s recently announced gang injunction, and about his vision for the department.

Guests:

Anthony Batts, police chief of Oakland, former police chief of Long Beach and former chair of the California Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission
