Historic Crimes and Justice in Burlington, Vermont

As Burlington grew into a city out of wilderness, more citizens meant more opportunities for crime. Horse thefts, murders and drunken brawls swamped the young and prosperous city. Those misdeeds inspired the first officers of what would become the Burlington Police Department to serve and protect. Step behind the scenes of the Griwold murder case, the Mad Riot of 1898 and the murder of Officer James McGrath. Glimpse the dangers of police work and the shared human experiences of the city s officers and the citizens they serve. Burlington Police Department detective Jeff Beerworth explores the nature of crime and justice in the Queen City."
