REVIEWS
“
The lessons learned about humanity and the history of our nation will make me a better police officer. That’s said without a doubt.”
2022 ReStory US Law Enforcement alumnus
“I feel more at home in my skin as a champion and believer that peace not only could be a possibility, but MUST be a possibility in not only the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but in conflicts from as large as those between countries, or as seemingly small as those in my city.”
