It will, however, require all hands on deck.

I know how overwhelming it feels to want to help but not know where to start. Which is why I wrote Defending the Defenders, a short read (just 34 pages) filled with vetted ideas for supporting law enforcement, regardless of your current time commitment.

“Regrettably, because of a “perfect storm” of national narratives fueled by 24/7 negative news coverage, political posturing, riots, the isolationism of a pandemic, etc., the role of police in a free society has suffered immensely and now the police find themselves “playing from behind” and are desperate to re-establish bonds of trust with the constituents that they have pledged to serve and protect. . . .

—Mike Koval, retired chief of police of the Madison Police Department (WI), generously wrote the forward.
