In 2024, some 75,000 Americans were shot by criminal assailants. About 60,000 survived. Because police devote fewer resources to nonfatal shootings than homicides, many of these cases ended without an arrest, leaving survivors without justice and shooters free to strike again. ⤵️

I got to guest on my own podcast.
I played hard-to-get for over 9 years, but caved in the end. I can't say no to Shelley (stand-in interviewer)

In a lab experiment, witnesses viewed police officers (🇺🇸) as more professional and attentive when officers took notes in a paper notebook rather than on a smartphone.
Phones are obviously more useful, but may be a barrier between officers and public.

i took the key ideas and turned them into a practical guide on how to actually get 100% out of AI

A review of 21 studies spanning more than five decades finds that improved street lighting reduces crime by an average of 14%.
So how do cities actually do it? We've turned that research into a practical playbook for cities that want to act on it.

A Fort Worth Police Department Crime Response Unit officer was shot in the eye while responding to a burglary call on April 28.
CRU officers are unarmed and respond to scenes to collect evidence and document reports. The officer, a former U.S. Marine who served 30 years and received a Purple Heart for his service in Iraq, had recently joined the unit in February.
A reminder of the risks first responders face in every role, armed or unarmed, while serving their community.

People get emotional over failure and that’s when the problems compound.
Failure is feedback, not a verdict.
"Failure in American society is a badge of honor."
