Extremely useful tool for bridging a divide and building democratic policing in our communities. This guide is extremely useful as a mechanism to build trust, understanding and new ways of interacting between residents and police, especiallywhere little trust or mutual respect exist. In addition to developing a more personal respectful relationship, it helps communities envision what policing should mean to them and pushes the participants (police members and residents) to develop a concrete plan of action that works for their community.
