Capt. Mike Lamb, who’s been with the Asheville Police Department for 25 years, responds to a call at the Bartlett Arms public housing apartments on Feb. 22. Lamb says the department saw a wave of departures in 2020.

Asheville Watchdog veteran reporter John Boyle, discussed his contributions to a series of reports about Downtown Asheville. From drugs to the homeless population and in particular a decrease on the streets by police officers. This is causing concerns for some business owners. At the same time, Asheville Police need more employees. This interview originally aired March 15, 2023.
