About this listen
Chicago Police Lieutenant Jermaine Harris is a 23-year CPD veteran, a U.S. Marine Corps alumnus, and the visionary co-founder of Chicago Westside Police & Youth Sports. Raised in Austin and now rooted in North Lawndale, Lt. Harris blends street-level experience with policy insight—serving on both Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Mayor Brandon Johnson’s public-safety transition teams. In this 45-minute conversation he sits down with host Manny Guzman to unpack his path from Whitney Young High School to the Marines, his ethos of “social justice as violence-prevention,” and the lessons he carried all the way to a 2022 White House keynote on hunger, nutrition, and health. Tune in for a blueprint on transforming trauma into community healing—plus a fast-paced “Fun-Fact Lightning Round” to close the show.
