About this listen

Former Dayton police Detective Dennis Haller’s career spanned a dark time for the Dayton police department, giving him a front seat to the city’s criminal networks and questionable law enforcement tactics. Haller was a source for Dayton Daily News reporter Wes Hills — who retired in 2004 after 30 years at the paper — and agreed to share information with Hills on the condition it stay confidential until Haller’s death, which happened in 2023. This series uses Hills’ interviews and notes to shed new light on the largest police corruption scandal in city history, and how police wiretapping and a spurned bookie may have contributed to the downfall of baseball legend Pete Rose.
