About the Show

Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

John Rabe and Joe Domanick on Chief Wm Bratton leaving the LAPD

On Wednesday, LA Police Chief Bill Bratton (left) announced that he's quitting. Joe Domanick, of USC's Annenberg Institute for Justice and Journalism, and author of "To Protect and To Serve," a history of the pre-Bratton LAPD, says Bratton brought "adult supervision" to the force, and maybe his reforms will stick.
