MPD connects with young teen through relationship building and restorative justice
The Madison Police Department PodcastShow Notes
The MPD is finding new and exciting ways to connect with the city’s young people, breaking down barriers with police through youth academies and other programming. Officers are also providing many who stray from the justice the opportunity to participate in restorative justice processes. Helping lead the charge on both fronts is CORE - our Community Outreach and Resource Education unit. In this podcast CORE team leader Sgt. Meg Hamilton talks about how her unit is helping change attitudes and lives.
