Dr. DaNine Fleming was one of several community members who started Taking Back Our Village in response to disturbing gun violence and a need to build closer ties with law enforcement. That blossomed into a movement that has lasted for seven years and includes a large annual community get-together in Lincolnville that joins dozens of sheriff’s deputies with hundreds of local adults and children. Fleming, an associate professor at MUSC, talks about the critical need for such community partnerships in this episode of The Beat, a conversation about the Charleston County Sheriff's Office and our beautiful South Carolina community.
