Episode 2: Educated Encounters LIVE from Atlantic City, NJ!



This episode was recorded LIVE at the Police and Security Expo in Atlantic City, NJ! We talk with Captain (ret.) Andrea Craparotta and her new program in Middlesex County, using history classes to integrate law enforcement with high-schoolers, discussing key issues in the Constitution and law, and improving understanding and relations on both sides.

The program is called Educated Encounters, and it has the potential to go far beyond the concept of the School Resource Officer (SRO) and impact how our young people and police work together and understand one another.
