Three of our presenters, Capt Jim Mallery from Kalamazoo, Director Sue Rahr, Police Training Divsioin, State of Washington, and Capt Chip Huth,Kansas City PD. Our other presenters were Rev. Everett MItchell, and David Couper. Prof. Herman Goldstein made some reflections and introduced Sue Rahr.
What a great day we had! Much learning… understanding and sharing of feelings and ideas. I will be posting some relevant articles and the PowerPoint presentations from our speakers for you next week.
In the meantime, remember the three breakout questions?
1. What is the one thing I learned today that will help me in my work?
2. How am I going to implement this learning into my workplace?
3. Who am I going to teamwork with to make what I have learned happen?
How about working on those learnings? When we work together for a common good — improving our system of policing, magic can happen!
Thanks again for coming to Platteville and engaging! In this, our 21st century, I sense we now have a better and more postive future.
I served over 20 years as the chief of police in Madison (WI), four years as chief of the Burnsville (MN) Police Department, and before that as a police officer in Edina (MN) and the City of Minneapolis. I hold graduate degrees from the University of Minnesota and Edgewood College in Madison. I have written many articles over my years as a police leader. After retiring from the police department, I answered a call to ministry, attended seminary, and was ordained as a priest in the Episcopal Church. After 25 years leading two Episcopal Churches in Portage and North Lake, Wisconsin, I now serve as Associate Pastor in a growing, dynamic, and Spirit-filled Lutheran congregation in nearby Mazomanie.
