    Ep. 6 - I'm A Baltimore City Police Officer

    In this episode of Dad From Scratch, host Steve Fink talks to Lt. Jarron Jackson, a 14-year veteran of the Baltimore City Police Department. Lt. Jackson came on the show just a few days after it was announced that all charges were dropped against his fellow officers indicted in the death of Freddie Gray. It's been a very long and difficult year for many if not all Baltimore City police officers, and I had to find out what it's like to be in their shoes -- especially as a father. Lt. Jackson is a father of four and revealed some very personal details about the struggles of being both a cop and a dad in today's very tense climate for law enforcement nationwide. There's no question this may be the most compelling and important episode of Dad From Scratch yet.
