PARKLAND: ONE YEAR LATER Podcast

Miscellaneous


Experts say that one of the biggest policy changes since the Parkland shooting might be the expansion of RPO’s — Risk Protection Orders. Those are the measures that allow law enforcement officers to petition a court to remove guns from a person deemed a danger to themselves or others. They work differently in different states, but since Parkland, a number of states, including Florida, have adopted them. In this episode, we ride along with investigators as they serve an RPO and we explore how RPO’s work and how effective they are.
