In this episode of Topping the Curve I interview Jessica Battle, the Lead Counsel at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department. 

Throughout the episode Jessica discusses what it means to be a Police Counsel and what her day-to-day work entails. Jessica also discusses the importance of her role in light of the black lives matter movements and the current climate of our nation. 

• Advising police on legal matters
• Being a woman of color in the police department
• Changing the institution and not letting the institution change her
• Litigating as a police attorney for the city of Charlotte
