The STOP: Improving Police and Community Relations

By Dwayne Bryant

(Black & White Version)
Sought-after speaker and master storyteller, recipient of the 2020 FBI's Director of Community Leadership Award, Dwayne Bryant delivers a timely message in The STOP - Improving Police and Community Relations.

In the current landscape of American policing, officers must move beyond basic enforcement to provide sophisticated, professional leadership. My objective is clear: to elevate professionalism, provide a roadmap for bridging the gap between law enforcement and diverse communities, build trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve, and strengthen officer wellness.

Bryant created this book to educate youth, parents, teachers and police officers to proactively create Mutual Respect, Shared Responsibility, and Accountability in an effort to improve Police and Community Relations; thereby helping to heal our nation.

With nearly 30 years of experience training agencies and educational institutions ranging from four of the top ten largest US public school districts, FBI National Academy, Washington State Gambling Commission, Illinois Liquor Control Commission, Washington State Gambling Commission, Springfield PD, Riviera Beach PD, Chicago PD, COPA, and many others. Dwayne brings a wealth of experience that moves beyond theory into actionable tools, equipping law enforcement leaders to build stronger, safer communities.

Take a journey with Dwayne as he shares seven real-life personal encounters with law enforcement from his childhood into adulthood. Some light-hearted and humorous, others dangerous and could have lead to death. With compelling narratives, research and humor, The STOP will:
1. Teach youth how to interact with police.
2. Encourage thought-provoking conversations.
3. Provide The NEW Conversation for parents to have with their children.
4. Provide a meaningful framework for Law Enforcement to create better relations with community.
5. Create a National Platform to build Mutual Respect, Shared Responsibility and Accountability between police and community.
6. Provide a framework for parents, teachers and community leaders to engage in meaningful dialogue with youth about their expectations in life.
7. Offer practical solutions to bridge the gap between the community and law enforcement.
8. Allow the Good within the community and law enforcement to join forces in order to expose the criminal element within both groups.

The STOP will inspire and empower you to look beyond your initial thought and discover your own strength in resolving strained situations. You have the power to determine the final outcome. The STOP is guaranteed to have a positive impact on improving police and community relations.
