Very Useful Discussion! Thanks for Bringing Brandon Lee's Work

Thank you very much Jo Ann,

This is such a fresh perspective. Here we are in Po'Town and until you and your guest BRANDON LEE opened a view on Corvallis's Police Department's practices under their conscientious Chief Jon Sassaman, I had little sense that anything but the proven unproductive policies of Po'Town PD going back decades had any standing in the NW regional and the broader national arenas of Law Enforcement's Glacially Paced Evolution of Best Practices.

Please continue to bring such guests and broaden the discussion of which PD Best Practices achieve the outcomes that serve the Public Interest. Profit-seeking Private Interests have poisoned trust between law enforcement and the communities that need to be partners in any successful effort to keep communities cohesive.

I'll be seeking out Brandon Lee's book CONSCIOUS POLICING: A REFLECTION ON LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMUNITY BUILDING WORKSHOPS and online discussions to see if he has similarly insightful views on the businesses and institutions and even the international economic dynamics that have led to the now widely analyzed 'militarization' of community policing.

To have Po'Town PD Chiefs like Mike Reese, who've perpetuated the WORST PRACTICES of POLICING under COMMISSIONER\MAYOR CHARLIE HALES go to work blurring the deceptive lines between PRIVATE INTEREST PROFIT-SEEKING and PUBLIC INTEREST COMMUNITY SERVICE by swinging through the revolving doors into a lobbying position with such deceptive organizations as a non-profit arm of the PORTLAND BUSINESS ALLIANCE as reported on by WILLAMETTE WEEK's Beth Slovic last month needs to be called out as unacceptable.
