Justin Hopson

Justin Hopson is a retired New Jersey State Trooper, licensed private investigator, whistleblower, and author of Breaking the Blue Wall: One Man's War Against Police Corruption.

"I was an ordinary cop with an extraordinary cause. My cause is constant - to unearth corruption and shine a light on integrity," says Hopson
