S3EP27, Engaging the community and innovative policing, Chuck McPhilamy of Marietta City Police

Chuck McPhilamy makes an impassioned plea to have those tough
conversations between the community and the police. Marietta
Police Department has invested into training above what is
required to help police deal with growing problems. 


For example, every officer went through a 40 hour crisis
intervention training (CIT). That training is a game changer for
everyone involved. From the officer who does not know what it is
like to hear voices, to the citizen with the issue that gets to
see these officers face-to-face to the loved ones of the mentally
ill that do not want to see their loved ones hurt. 


Get involved though the pastor's police academy to the citizen
police academy, there are ways to learn more about the police in
Marietta.
