In this episode Mario, a retired police officer who served on the Atlanta PD force for 13yrs, offers us a look from the perspective from inside police culture. He talks about the most effective way we can create the change we want to see when it comes to policy and policing, and how we’ve been focusing on the wrong thing. Mario shares about the various ways police are trained and...where they aren’t, and poses some great questions for us all to reflect on. It’s not just about the police, it’s about the systems and policies. That’s where our focus should be.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT
- How police officers are trained to engage with the community in general, when there’s a threat, and when a weapon is present.
- A discussion on cultural competency training and how it’s optional, but should be mandatory.
- What we’re missing and where we need to focus our attention in order to shift policies and laws.
- Taking the time to research council members and getting involved in our community to create change.
- The focus we also need to put into raising our children so they grow up with the education and awareness of how to be effective leaders.
