WFHB Local News – January 29th, 2025
This is the WFHB Local News for Wednesday, January 29th, 2025.
Later in the program, WFHB News looks into the relationship between policing and social work on today’s episode of Deep Dive: WFHB and Limestone Post Investigate.More in today’s feature report.
That’s Marissa Meador from the Indiana Daily Student, on the recent merger of Indiana University student media. Hear her concerns, and a response from The Media School, later in the show in a feature report. More following today’s feature.
But first, Deep Dive:
This is Deep Dive: WFHB and Limestone Post Investigate where we look into issues regarding Health, Housing, and the Environment that directly impact residents of Monroe County. For this series, WFHB and the Limestone Post look into how social workers are being integrated into police departments, and how effective this solution is at addressing the issues embedded in policing.
Social work is a profession focused on empowering people in vulnerable situations, while policing often centers on crime prevention and maintaining public order. Should these institutions be combined?
WFHB News speaks with a variety of sources on the subject – some who argue that social workers could help with de-escalating certain situations, and providing long term, client centered services. Others argue the two professions are at odds with each other and should not be intertwined.
Tune in next week to learn more. As we continue to dive deeper WFHB News will explore research being done in Indiana and across the country to assess how effective police and social worker programs are, and how well the program is currently working here in Bloomington, Indiana.
