I Was LAPD Internal Affairs — Here's What Officers Were Hiding | Marlon Marrache

Marlon Marrache spent 24 years with the LAPD — including time working the division that investigates its own officers. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Marlon pulls back the curtain on what Internal Affairs actually does, how the process really works from complaint to outcome, and why it looks nothing like what you've seen on TV. He gets into the lies, the cover-ups, the code of silence, and what actually happens to officers when misconduct is proven — giving an insider look at one of the most secretive divisions in American law enforcement. _____________________________________________ #LAPD #InternalAffairs #TrueCrime _____________________________________________ Connect with Marlon Marrache: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themarracheshow/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTkpEPUwRpbaMMLb1saX9zA _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 LAPD Internal Affairs — Marlon's Story and the Secrets He's Sharing 02:22 Growing Up as an Immigrant and How It Shaped His Path to the LAPD 07:07 How Sports the Navy and a Late Start Led Him to Law Enforcement 13:01 The LAPD Culture Scandals and Internal Corruption Nobody Talks About 21:49 How Social Media Destroyed the LAPD's Ability to Hide the Truth 23:44 His Early Patrol Years and How the Role of Cops Changed Around Him 34:46 The Trauma Loneliness and Coping Mechanisms That Define Long Careers 40:45 How and Why He Moved Into Internal Affairs — The Decision That Changed Everything 47:40 The Real Reputation of Internal Affairs vs What It's Actually Like Inside 53:41 His First Internal Affairs Case — How Hard It Really Is to Investigate Your Own 01:02:59 The Challenge of Proving False Statements Against Fellow Officers 01:10:52 False Statements Perjury and the Policy Violations That Destroy Careers 01:20:32 Bad Hires Rogue Officers and Who Is Really Responsible for Accountability 01:25:04 What Actually Happens to Corrupt Cops — Resignations Pensions and Consequences 01:30:08 Inside the Psychology and Process of a Real Internal Affairs Investigation 01:34:01 The Most Common Complaints Against LAPD Officers and What the Public Gets Wrong 01:42:28 Did Internal Affairs Destroy His Friendships — The Personal Cost of Doing the Right Thing 01:47:06 The Career Lessons That Only Come From Investigating Your Own Department 02:05:51 Purpose Empathy and What He Really Wants People to Know About Police Work _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.
