Partnerships have long proven successful in improving safety within a community. Historically, these partnerships have been between various first responder groups. As the social divide within our country continues to widen, partnerships between first responders and social workers have proven extremely successful.

This rings true for the University of Maryland Baltimore Police Department (UMBPD) since it began a partnership with the university’s School of Social Work (UMSSW) to help the Baltimore community at large.

In this interview, UMBPD Chief Thomas Leone shares how the partnership works (2:16) and its impressive outcomes for the community (6:13).
