Surviving the 77th: Policing the Most VIOLENT Square Miles in LA

I Was LAPD Internal Affairs — Here's What Officers Were Hiding

Marlon Marrache spent 24 years with the LAPD — including time working the division that investigates its own officers. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Marlon pulls back the curtain on what Internal Affairs actually does, how the process really works from complaint to outcome, and why it looks nothing like what you've seen on TV. He gets into the lies, the cover-ups, the code of silence, and what actually happens to officers when misconduct is proven — giving an insider look at one of the most secretive divisions in American law enforcement. #LAPD #InternalAffairs #TrueCrime Connect with Marlon Marrache: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themarracheshow/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTkpEPUwRpbaMMLb1saX9zA Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 LAPD Internal Affairs — Marlon's Story and the Secrets He's Sharing 02:22 Growing Up as an Immigrant and How It Shaped His Path to the LAPD 07:07 How Sports the Navy and a Late Start Led Him to Law Enforcement 13:01 The LAPD Culture Scandals and Internal Corruption Nobody Talks About 21:49 How Social Media Destroyed the LAPD's Ability to Hide the Truth 23:44 His Early Patrol Years and How the Role of Cops Changed Around Him 34:46 The Trauma Loneliness and Coping Mechanisms That Define Long Careers 40:45 How and Why He Moved Into Internal Affairs — The Decision That Changed Everything 47:40 The Real Reputation of Internal Affairs vs What It's Actually Like Inside 53:41 His First Internal Affairs Case — How Hard It Really Is to Investigate Your Own 01:02:59 The Challenge of Proving False Statements Against Fellow Officers 01:10:52 False Statements Perjury and the Policy Violations That Destroy Careers 01:20:32 Bad Hires Rogue Officers and Who Is Really Responsible for Accountability 01:25:04 What Actually Happens to Corrupt Cops — Resignations Pensions and Consequences 01:30:08 Inside the Psychology and Process of a Real Internal Affairs Investigation 01:34:01 The Most Common Complaints Against LAPD Officers and What the Public Gets Wrong 01:42:28 Did Internal Affairs Destroy His Friendships — The Personal Cost of Doing the Right Thing 01:47:06 The Career Lessons That Only Come From Investigating Your Own Department 02:05:51 Purpose Empathy and What He Really Wants People to Know About Police Work To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

NYPD’S $100 MILLION MISTAKE: Wrong Man Brutalized in Viral Liquor Store Beatdown!

Experience meets accountability in this high-stakes debrief featuring two legendary law enforcement figures. Marlon Marrache, famously known as "The IA Guy", brings his 24 years of LAPD experience and Internal Affairs expertise to the table. Marrache surgically deconstructs a botched NYPD narcotics operation, exposing critical procedural failures including deactivated body cams, lack of proper identification, and the unauthorized use of WhatsApp for official communication. Joining him is Charles "Chuck" Bennett, a veteran with a staggering 33 years on the job and nearly 40 years of total law enforcement service. Drawing from his decades of plainclothes experience, Bennett delivers a blistering tactical critique, labeling the incident—which left an innocent man with 32 stitches and a broken nose—a "Donnie Brook" and an "ass whippin'" that violated the core principles of policing. Together, these experts analyze the catastrophic fallout: a $100 million lawsuit, the removal of commanding officers, and the unprecedented disbanding of an entire unit. This is an essential masterclass on career survival, the importance of returning to the basics, and the heavy price of failing to protect and serve with integrity.

Split-Second Decisions: Why TRAINING is Failing Our Officers!

This discussion explores the complex and often politically charged investigation of officer-involved shootings (OIS). Guest Jeff Wenninger, retired Police Lieutenant from the LAPD's Force Investigation Division (FID) details the challenges of scene management, where political concerns about the race of suspects and officers often overshadow tactical evaluations in the immediate aftermath! The conversation highlights a critical debate over body-worn video: whether officers should view it before interviews, weighing the risk of "corrupting" their actual perception against the legal dangers of discrepancies between their memory and the recorded evidence. Furthermore, Jeff argues that current law enforcement training is insufficient, as it fails to prepare officers for the evolving legal standards that now judge the "totality of circumstances" leading up to a shooting, rather than just the final moment of threat. Tune into a very important conversation!
