Jeffrey Katz has been in law enforcement for more than three decades, and in that time he’s seen it all. Katz came to the Richmond area from Florida in 2018 when he was named the police chief of Chesterfield County. Now, after a spell with the FBI, he’s the head of the Virginia State Police.

On the latest episode of ‘Untold - A WTVR Podcast,’ the career lawman talks to Catie Beck about leadership, policing in a highly politicized 21st century, the fight against fentanyl, concerns about AI, and how transcendental meditation has helped with his mission to protect and serve.

Growing up on the streets of segregated Norfolk, Tim Reid learned the lessons of being a good storyteller at an early age.

His first stage: the dinner table at his grandmother’s boarding house.

“They'd sit around and start telling lies and talking about their lives, and I would listen, then my grandmother would say, ‘Junior, tell them about what thing happened at church the other Sunday,’ and I'd tell them and they'd laugh,” said Reid. “And I've often thought about the training I received, but also the art of storytelling that I gained from those people. A lot of their dreams had been deferred, they were broken in many ways, but they told of their lives in a way that I've always wanted to give honor to.”

Reid, one of Virginia’s favorite actors and comedians, sat down with Catie Beck on the latest episode of ‘Untold – A WTVR Podcast.’

The interview was conducted shortly before the death of Tom Dreesen, Reid’s longtime friend and former comedy partner. The duo is considered to be America’s first interracial comedy team.
