A greater understanding of diverse communities is important for all individuals who work in public service – from elected officials to public employees. Law enforcement in particular always benefits the most from such information, as they interact more heavily with the incredible diversity every community has to offer. The benefits go both ways; as cooperation and communication is increased to and from residents and law enforcement, law enforcement more easily achieves its mission, and communities are made safer for all. I applaud the NJCA and Chaplains Bursztyn and Wenger in particular for your work. The NJCA’s commitment to expanding understanding between all levels of government and law enforcement and the people they serve is an admirable and important mission.
