There's never been a more important time for law enforcement agencies to embrace a culture of bystandership. Great to see our @GeorgetownABLE project getting the recognition it deserves! nytimes.com/2022/02/27/us/…

“All we do is we give them a PowerPoint and we say, ‘Thou shall intervene,’ as though it's easy. And we've never, ever taught the skills of intervention.” washingtonpost.com/podcasts/post-…
