In a recent interview on "Access City Council," Councilwoman Francis Allen-Palenske, Chief Jason Potts, and André Lewis discussed the importance of introducing children to law enforcement through literature. The Making It Better book aims to humanize police officers, making them more accessible and less intimidating to young readers. Chief Potts explains, “These books are bridges. They help us reach hearts before headlines ever make it necessary.”
