Audio Included in Post. Audio ©2010 WTLC/Radio One. In the wake of a controversial beating of a 15 year old Black teen by Indianapolis Police three weeks ago Afternoons with Amos was invited and accepted an invitation to broadcast live from the Police Training Academy. Indianapolis Public Safety Director Dr. Frank Straub, Indianapolis Police Chief Paul Cielsielski, Ass’t Chief Darryl Pierce, Dept Chief, Training and Professional Stanards Valerie Cunningham and Training Branch Commander Capt. James Reno. Guests talked about police training and how residents should interact with police. Listeners called with examples of mistreatment by police along with questions about training and recruitment.  It was the first time any Indianapolis media had broadcast such a program from the city’s Police Academy and may be one of the few (if not the first) broadcasts by Black Radio and/or Black Talk Radio from such an institution.
