LOS ANGELES, CA – The founder of the Game Changer, the nation’s premiere law enforcement/community relations behavior change model, Sean Sheppard, has launched and hosts, Cops & Convicts with Sean Sheppard. The raw, in-person/virtual show typically brings together retired members of law enforcement and convicted felons for moderated discussions about their lives and experiences inside the criminal justice system. The purpose is to allow viewers to see each group as human beings and provide the space for them to share their experiences and offer solutions to problems they’ve seen in person. Full episodes and interview clips can be viewed on the Cops & Convicts YouTube Channel.
The first Cops & Convicts episode was filmed at Pink Cloud Studios in Los Angeles on November, 23, 2021, and featured retired LAPD Lieutenant, Gena Brooks, and Ken Kuczwaj, who was incarcerated for his role in the infamous DFJ Italia Ponzi scheme of the early 2000’s. The second episode was also filmed at Pink Cloud Studios, on December 21, 2021, and features a 1 on 1 interview with the only living co-founder of the DFJ Italia Ponzi scheme, Angelo Ales, a 7-time convicted felon and made member of the Bonanno Crime Family.
The podcast has two sponsors and will resume filming episodes in January, 2022.
