Behind every badge is a person. Behind every door is a community.

The bridge runs both ways.

• The Golden Rule, on both sides of the badge. Treat others the way you want to be treated.
• Facts first. Every booklet figure comes from an official or highly reputable public source, and where a figure isn’t public, we say so.
• Educate both sides. Officers are people behind the badge. Citizens are people behind the door. Both deserve respect.
• Not anti-police. Not anti-community. Pro-understanding.

Who is Saint Maicol?
