We are repositories.

Police departments are repositories of information on human suffering.

You know what we're doing with that?

If it's not traditional enforcement-based policing to make cases for court, nothing.

That's not right.

There it is.

You know what that is?

That's community policing.

We call it recovery-oriented community policing.

Now let me plug something else in that I think is a sophisticated, important point that people got to keep in mind.

This isn't an attack on traditional enforcement type of policing.

If you are sensitive to human nature, you know there's going to be violations of the type that need somebody to show up and take a person out of their house in cuffs, put them in a jail cell and take them to court.

Unfortunately, the dark side is a part of human nature.

And that type of policing done right is important and it keeps us well.

But when it's the only type of policing, we're missing something.

We're missing something important and special.

And our people are expecting our officers to show up and put a hand out, a hand, a helping hand and say, we know what's going on and we want you to be well.

We don't want you to die.

We don't want you to be in a cage.

Human being in a cage.
