SHIELDED: police domestic violence | ANF Investigates

<p><b>Shielded, a special four-part series by Brendan Keefe, Atlanta News First Chief Investigator<br /></b><br /></p><p>Are police officers given special treatment when they are suspects in family violence incidents? After months of research, investigations and interviews, “Shielded” is a four-part series that uncovers cases where an officer in an alleged domestic dispute was treated differently – much differently – than similar suspects.</p><p>When cops are arrested for domestic violence, data shows they rarely get convicted. Many keep their jobs. About half keep their law enforcement certifications – and their guns. We also look at two cases in which officers who were given their guns back killed their wives with those same guns. This series provides resources and other help for not only police and their families, but everyone who might be experiencing domestic violence. </p><p>Read and watch the entire series here: https://bit.ly/43Y3GH0</p>
