Hey, it's Jason Moon, senior producer for Document.

I'm here with an important update to our first season, The List.

0:13.3

As you might remember, the list was all about secret lists of police officers,

0:18.9

officers who engaged in misconduct that could potentially be used to

0:23.2

undermine their testimony in a trial. In the list, we talked about why these lists were created

0:29.8

in the first place, why some cops hate these lists, and why a lot of people think they shouldn't be

0:36.1

secret.

0:45.3

We focused largely on the story of New Hampshire's version of this kind of list, what's known around here as the Lorry List.

0:50.8

And we asked, what would happen if the list was finally made public?

0:56.5

But it was a question we didn't get to answer because, well, the lory list was still secret. We knew there were somewhere north of 250 names of police officers on it,

Just a few weeks ago, the first batch of names from the Lorry List was released to the public.

between advocates for police reform and police unions. This new law says the state attorney general must

1:30.6

publicly release the lorry list, but not right away. Officers who are on the list were given

1:37.1

one last window of opportunity to challenge their placement on the list before it comes out.

1:43.7

But how much time the officers have to do that varies placement on the list before it comes out. But how much time the officers have

1:46.0

to do that varies depending on when they were placed on the lorry list. And so in practical

1:52.3

terms for the public, what that means is the names on the lorry list will come out in multiple

1:58.1

waves. And just recently, we got the first one, 90 names.

2:04.7

To talk about what we've learned so far, I sat down with my colleague Todd Bookman.

Todd's been covering the lorry list for a long time, and he helped me create the first
