  • Resumen

  • Welcome to another episode of Behind the Headlines, where we feature experts and journalists discussing a variety of topics.

    In this latest episode, Patrick Wilson, a reporter for Lee Enterprises Public Service Journalism team, talks about his reporting on the Virginia State Police.

    After spending at least $1.6 million over a decade for the purpose of recruiting minority troopers, the percentage of sworn Black employees of the Virginia State Police dropped, according to department data. Black troopers made up 10% of the department in 2013. Today, that figure is 9%.

    We discuss the data and more details included in the story.
