The playbook to prevent the spree shooters

Former Naperville detective turned national trainer Rich Wistocki explains how “leakage” on social media lets schools and police spot would-be shooters before they act. In a wide-open conversation, he walks through the three-phase playbook that’s stopped dozens of plots and how simple evidence steps turn red flags into real cases.

“Wearing the Badge” is hosted by former Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy in partnership with Fox 32 Chicago. McCarthy, who began his law enforcement career with the NYPD, is now the police chief in Willow Springs, Illinois. Beyond breaking down the latest crime trends and the policies that shape strategies, McCarthy and seasoned law enforcement officials share what it really means to wear the badge—revealing both the challenges and rewards of serving on the front lines.
