#160 Unmasking Internal Affairs: Inside The World Of Police Accountability w/ Marlon Marrache

Welcome back to another episode of Iron Sights Podcast After Dark! In today’s episode, I’m joined by Marlon Marrache, also known as The IA Guy.

He’s a retired LAPD officer who spent a lot of time in Internal Affairs. On his podcast, Marlon dives into the role of Internal Affairs in keeping law enforcement accountable. He talks through real-life cases, misconduct stories, and some of the viral police incidents we’ve all seen in the news.

It’s all about giving the public a better understanding of what’s really going on in law enforcement.

Marlon’s not just about the podcast, though—he’s also out there with Savage Training Group, providing training to law enforcement officers.

I had a lot of questions for him in this episode, especially about what really goes on behind the scenes in Internal Affairs.

We talk about the stuff they investigate and what’s the real deal, far from what we see in movies or the headlines. Marlon made the trip up to the studio for this one, and it was a fun, eye-opening conversation.

Grab a seat and enjoy this episode with Marlon Marrache, The IA Guy!
