In a recent interview on "Access City Council," Councilwoman Francis Allen-Palenske, Chief Jason Potts, and André Lewis discussed the importance of introducing children to law enforcement through literature. The Making It Better book aims to humanize police officers, making them more accessible and less intimidating to young readers. Chief Potts explains, “These books are bridges. They help us reach hearts before headlines ever make it necessary.”

Improve the relationship between law enforcement and your community now!
City managers, departments heads, unions, or community organizations can donate a case or two of books to their local law enforcement. Officers can then use these books for reading sessions in schools, distributing them at community events like National Night Out, or simply gifting a book to a child while on patrol.
