"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education."
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Police Evolution is a collaborative partnership organization that was created to provide additional training programs to law enforcement officers throughout the Nation centered around equity, social justice, and the empowerment of the communities served by local law enforcement. Our overriding goal is to create a climate in which law enforcement and the community are reminded that they are one and the same, emphasizing the education and training of law enforcement to better acknowledge and understand that negative perceptions can be mitigated with positive contacts and communication. Police Evolution believes this path will best resolve issues of abuse or misuse of authority, whether real or perceived for OUR communities.
