When the author of the Police Officer’s Law Manual moonlights as a private consultant while running a department that ignores state residency laws, what do you get? A custom country ballad. 🎶

Listen to the brand-new protest track taking aim at Justin Hanrahan Consulting, multi-state badge laundering, and textbook hypocrisy.

Justin Hanrahan literally wrote the book on police procedure, but his department in Watertown is treating basic transparency like an existential threat.

When a multi-state residency fraud and a forced resignation for dishonesty were uncovered, Chief Hanrahan didn’t launch an audit—he stonewalled. Even worse? Right away, he made that same compromised officer a field trainer.

How can a chief lecture the Commonwealth on integrity while running an administration that hides from the public record? Read the full investigation in Episode 4 of Under Color of Law.

When he stood up in court and grandly declared himself "Unsworth, Captain Unsworth," he delivered the line with all the suave, unshakable swagger of Double-O Danny stepping out of an Aston Martin—right before frantically trying to figure out how to rescue his favorite pathological liar and fired trooper - Watertown Officer Khalil Mafhoum.
