Because I wore the uniform, I got law enforcement pulling me to one side of the street. Q: During the unrest in Ferguson, what was the most personally challenging time for you?Ī: I think trying to walk down this middle of the road and you have people pulling you from both sides. I think as law enforcement, we probably play a major role, more so than the community, in being transparent about what we do and how we do it. I think when we have law enforcement events, we need to bring in the community.I think we need to be transparent in a lot of ways. I think when we have community events it's important law enforcement is part of that. I think we just need to share our experiences with each other in conversations and settings like today and I think when we share those maybe we come up with a better understanding. A lot of times I think that it's easy to focus on those perspectives as based on race, but sometimes they're just based on our experiences in life. Are you surprised by those differences and how should an organization respond to those differences?Ī: I'm not familiar with the survey but some of the things you mentioned I would say are true. There also was diverging opinions between white and black officers about the state of race relations and the motives of protesters. Q: There was a recent Pew survey, one of the largest surveys ever of law enforcement, that showed diverging opinions between the public and the police. It creates this partnership, this sense of trust, but it also shows respect. If we can police from that standpoint, I think it makes us better and it makes our communities better. We need to realize who we are before we put that uniform on, that we're people with biases and we're diverse and we need to be all those things before we put the uniform on. And that holds true with law enforcement. We all have biases and there's nothing wrong with having implicit biases, but it's what we do with those. Diversity in our community, diversity in our workplace, impacts us each and every day, our successes and our failures. When we include everyone we get a lot of different views and we see from a lot of different standpoints. Why is diversity important, broadly speaking, and also why might it be of particular importance to law enforcement?Ī: In a broad sense, it makes us strong.
