Host Dean Kallenbach welcomes Kelly Bakken, chief of police for the City of Altoona; Colleen Etzbach, program director and associate professor at the University of Wisconsin-Stout Criminal Justice Department; Heather Pyka, program director and reentry coordinator at the Dunn County Sheriff’s Office; and Riley McLennan, public information officer for the Eau Claire Police Department.
