“On a national level, there’s no simple answer to the question ‘How did we get here?’ History, hard hearts, unchecked behavior and, yes, racism have each played a role. The bigger question is ‘How do we change?’
“Local law enforcement plays a crucial role in supporting, encouraging and mentoring our clients through their journey. Members of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department volunteer their time. I have seen officers well up with tears as the men and women they mentored graduated from our program. When we look beneath the surface—past a uniform, past a tattoo, past any choices that we have made in the past—we find we are all much more alike than we are different.”
-- Jon Ponder in the Wall Street Journal
