It is awesome to see law enforcement agencies come up with new ways to solve societal problems! We are always hoping to inspire new ideas around helping people instead of punishing them. Check out what the Albany Police Department is doing: albanyherald.com/news/apd-to…

According to a Gallup poll, 52% of Americans don't have confidence in the police. We need to restore trust between communities & police, & Lights On! has just the solution. Our program turns dreaded traffic stops into an opportunity to create positive & restorative interactions.
