36 min - Police in Schools: Understanding The Role of SRO's vs Law Enforcement
The national discussion about removing police from schools does not seem to distinguish between School Resource Officers and school police officers. There has been a growing movement over the past 5 years for schools to create their own police departments. Law enforcement is distinctly different from the role of a specially recruited and training school resource officer.

23 min - Recruiting: The Foundation of Healthy Organizations
The murder of George Floyd has illustrated how critical recruiting the right people into your organization is. The vast majority of employees, volunteers or vendors who demonstrate unacceptable behaviors have red flags that often times can be connected before we select them.

31 min - The Truth About Church Background Checks
