Improving police is a very important national goal. And I have to tell you that absent internal improvement by dedicated police officers, and the support of interested citizens, it will never happen.
So let’s start working together!

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 almost 30 years serving in and leading two Episcopal Churches in the Diocese of Milwaukee, I am "sort-of" in the process of retirement. Life is good.

Improving Police: A Necessary Conversation 
Hello
I know that PoliceOne.com printed a powerful story about a film I just produced and premiered.
Might you want to tell your audience about it? I’m not sure what protocol there is to get permission from the San Diego Union Tribune, but it may be worth it for your audience.
