Tyler Technologies is proud to be a supporting sponsor of National Police Week, an annual event to honor law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty. To help us learn more about National Police Week, we are pleased to welcome Bill Alexander, Executive Director of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. His organization hosts the official National Police Week events in Washington, D.C. A retired police officer himself, Bill will share his unique perspective on the history of National Police Week and what the event means both to the surviving family members of the fallen officers as well as to the wider law enforcement community.

Bill Alexander joined the NLEOMF with nearly 30 years of law enforcement experience, starting with the United States Air Force and then as a local police officer in Prince George’s County, a Maryland community just outside of Washington, D.C.  He started as a patrol officer and was quickly promoted through a variety of supervisory and command level roles such as media relations, internal affairs, police training academy, and command of the Hyattsville District station, the area which surrounds the University of Maryland.  He also forged strong relationships with local/state elected leaders, government officials, and advocacy groups as the department’s lead legislative liaison.  He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Management and a Master’s degree in Leadership from Johns Hopkins University.  Alexander’s leadership and extensive background in law enforcement will help ensure the Memorial Fund does not falter in its mission, to honor all those who fall in the line of duty.

Antong Lucky's journey from being sentenced to time behind bars to becoming an advocate for those who are in his former shoes is nothing short of remarkable. In this episode, Antong shares his story in his own words, starting with how he found himself in front of a judge who deemed him "a menace to society." He recounts the challenges he faced in prison, including dealing with limited resources, and how he used his time to reflect and transform himself.

Joining Antong in this conversation is Silas Deane III, founder and head of Tyler's Community Readiness. Silas shares his insights and experiences in helping incarcerated individuals have resources available to help them integrate back into society. Together, they explore the importance of opportunities and the need for greater support for formerly incarcerated individuals. This episode offers a powerful look at the impact opportunity has on individuals and communities and the potential for transformation and advocacy.

About Antong Lucky

As a child of an incarcerated father, Antong Lucky grew up in an impoverished, crime-ridden neighborhood in East Dallas, Texas, born at the same time as East Dallas experienced an alarming rise in crack cocaine and heroin use. Despite his high grades and passion for learning, Antong is introduced to gang life and its consequences.

Eventually, Antong forms the Dallas Bloods gang, inaugurating a period in the 1990s of escalating retaliatory gun violence buoyed by a lucrative illegal drug enterprise until he is ultimately arrested and sentenced to seven years in prison. His journey through the doors of transformation came through the pain of incarceration and introspection that caused him to question the cognitive distortions embedded in him since childhood.

Once in prison, Antong denounced his gang affiliation and began working to unite rival gangs, quickly rising to become one of the most respected and sought-after mentors in prison. A spiritual transformation further inspired Antong to return to his old neighborhood after early release, seeking to align with like-minded people dedicated to challenging systemic issues in U.S. communities through collective efforts. The work of an incisive, determined mind, A Redemptive Path Forward will take its place among the broadening canon of titles championing and investigating prison reform and societal transformation.
