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.
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 calling for police improvement (for example, How To Rate Your Local Police, and with my wife, Sabine, Quality Policing: The Madison Experience). After retiring from the police department, I answered a call to ministry, attended seminary, and was ordained as a priest in the Episcopal Church. At the present time, I serve a small church in North Lake (WI), east of Madison. Sabine and I have nine adult children, eleven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She is also a retired police officer and we both continue active lives.

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.
