Policing Peace: What America Can Do Now to Avoid Future Tragedies

This Book Can Change America

Policing Peace contains practical steps we can take now to avoid future tragedies and overcome racial divisions that are tearing our country apart.

Policing Peace is addressed to peace officers and community members alike. The goal is to help peace officers become agents of both security and peace, and to help community members find their voice within our criminal justice system.

Seven easy-to-read chapters include That Long Overdue Discussion About Race, Answering Cries for Justice, and Seven Steps to Better Policing. These chapters address controversial issues in criminal justice while providing insight, knowledge, and possible solutions.

That Long Overdue Discussion About Race--Proposes five areas of understanding that can help us resolve some of the racial divisions that plague us.

Answering Cries for Justice--Contains several practical steps we can take now to increase minority participation and help avoid future tragedies like the ones that took place in Sanford, Ferguson, and Baltimore.

Seven Steps to Better Policing--Calls upon officers to examine their policing style and practices. Officers are encouraged to turn to their core values as they seek to improve their policing skills.

Our goal is to inspire individuals who work within the criminal justice system along with community members, to seek justice and fairness with each decision they make. Often the surest path to justice will come in small incremental steps: one case, one person, one decision at a time.
