"It will allow us to utilize our history of connecting with the police, engaging with the police, and, more importantly, engaging with the community in a positive way that has produced officers that were influenced that are now policing, like our own officer, Officer George who has come back and is now doing the community policing part," Jamerson says. "It's nothing like being able to benchmark some things, test it, put some data to it, and then have people seek you out to be able to do it. So just truly excited that it resonated in such a meaningful way and truly now up to the challenge."
