This perspective is CRUCIAL. As a jail Social Worker, I never approach my male “inmates” clients as look what you did, no matter how rough and tough they come across. I go into my meetings with...this is just a set back, what is your life goal and I don’t want to see you back here. Everybody has a goal and if they don’t, I coach them into dreaming, and in time they come up with a goal. Whenever I tap into that part of the conversation with my clients, I see a shift in there demeanor and attitude. It’s powerful to watch. Change is not easy but it is possible. As long as I continue in this career, my approach will always be what he said, “focus on the root cause of a behavior” and you may see lasting change. Great reminder when working in the helping profession.
Jennifer Meverden me too Jennifer, reading with my MSW and clinical mental health. While my concentration is in community mental health or families and children, I can appreciate the circumstances and if it is for change this provides and symptoms of really growing and larger problem.
I had to watch this for a social work class I'm taking. I want to tell you this made me cry; it's such a beautiful solution to making real change in communities.
Finally, changing the paradigm of law enforcement is not quantum physics. We need more social workers, nurses, and trauma specialists with powers and a whole hellva lot pay.
As a police officer, I love these ideas. Unfortunately I work in a community where we don't have adequate community services. We don't have shelters to refer the homeless to. We don't have substance abuse programs to refer addicts to. The reason is because in many communities, the community leaders don't care about the homeless. They don't care about the addicts. They don't care why and won't fund programs that will fix the root cause of the problem. Instead, they tell the police "there are homeless in my neighborhood. Get rid of them."
Sir, maybe you could do a bit of research and see if there is something in another county that they can go through. Instead of just arresting them. You know??
Problem oriented policing has existed since the 1970s and has been widespread since the 1980's. This is not a new concept. The man is simply explaining how he applied a well known style of policing, which was created by Professor Herman Goldstein of the University of Wisconsin to his detachment. Almost every agency in North America uses a combination of the Problem Oriented approach and the Community policing approach. Im overwhelmed with how little most people in this comment section understand about police and that this seems like a new concept to them... Its really sad. For how harshly judged the police are, they are often so misunderstood. Of course the larger issue with policing is budget constraints. Police are often bound to quotas and statistics in an effort to increase their budget from council so that they can police better... Basically what this translates to is: Police are forced to give out bogus tickets and waste time with petty crimes in an effort to inflate their statistics so that they can get approved for larger budgets in an effort to get more officers and equipment so that they can ACTUALLY tackle the real issues. The public misunderstands this and often disapprove of the police because they dont see large issues being dealt with and are upset when they get reprimanded for petty crimes... If police ONLY focused on the BIG issues (which they would prefer), their statistics would plummet and they would not get an increase in budget and they would slowly lose control of an area due to poor funding. How long does it take to perform a drug sting? Depending on the size of the criminal organization it can take a command team of 2 officers investigating and analyzing information, 1-2 undercover agents, a senior officer to oversee the sting as well as a whole host of other specialty units to assist over the course of 1-2 years. During this time there are no arrests. The police are simply gathering information. When you add up the costs of doing a large scale investigation, there is almost ALWAYS a net loss of resources for a handful of arrests. The alternative to this is having all of these officers handing out traffic tickets and petty violations daily, which nets a MASSIVE profit for the city through tickets and bylaw infractions. So which do you choose as the chief of police? The Police are a business unit for the city... They must keep themselves profitable in an effort to increase their budget so that they can keep up to potential crimes that are increasing at a parallel rate with the growth of the city.
You are very smart! I hope you are still working and I hope you a running a law enforcement agency some where in America. It would be awesome if you, or someone with your knowledge, experience, & intellect was placed in charge of the Dept. of Justice. Keep up the good work!

Problem oriented policing has existed since the 70s. Has crime gone up or down since this system has been in use? Every year it gets more sophisticated and every year we lose more rights. Prisons are overpopulated and their using these ppl to make communities better lol.
Great job Derrick. Thank you, to you and your colleagues, for everything you do for our organization and community. Positive change...way to move the needle.
Outstanding video presentation! As a Social Worker, I experienced many of the examples mentioned as to the search and rescue mission for a social worker during an emergency to accomplish mission for law enforcement. Meanwhile, dealing with the root cause, in conjunction with legal recourse, if needed, will help to resolve reoccurring legal matters for the common good and welfare of mankind.
This prostitution issue story specifically relates to my neighborhood, we had huge stings outside my house on the corner. They changed the way my intersection worked, adding "no waiting/parking" signs on areas where prostitutes would sit and wait for cars. This talk is super interesting and helpful to know about the issues within my community.
Thanks for sharing us your good experiences particularly I would like to appreciate the concept of first understanding the problem or the root cause instead of dealing with criminality alone.

Great video and props to all your hard work, thank you. Could you tell me your thoughts on the Community Oriented Policing Services office? Or their report from May 2015?
:) Thanks for watching. Are you talking about the Presidents Task Force on 21st Century Policing? If so I think that document is a great foundational or philosophical template. The big question for me is how do agencies take those six pillars and implement them. As for the COPS office as a whole, I haven't done a ton of work with them, but the few times I have interacted with them they have been very helpful. They funded many of the POP guides and conference for years and because of that I was introduced to POP.
I am an abolitionist social worker and It is quite disturbing that social workers who are committed to social justice are working towards putting people in jail.
This all sounds great, but you'll notice his progressive plans still include arrests. Why? Because he (his agency) are only able to offer services (remember, some people love being homeless) or make them compulsory through arrest. You can understand a problem but still only be able to address it after an arrest. An addict needs help, but he still needs go be arrested for the twenty burglaries and armed robberies he committed last week to pay for his addiction. You can do all the social work you want, but it also comes after your legal obligation to uphold the law.
We all have a responsibility to improve our communities, but the govt can and is supposed to do so much more to improve communities, but continue to make it worse.
Every problem is not a police problem. So stop with social justice and focus on solving crime. Solve crime and let the appropriate departments deal with the remaining societal issues.

As a social worker myself, I appreciate seeing trauma informed care practice being implemented in various communities. Thank you!

Jennifer Meverden ok cool everyone divert 911 calls to this woman.

at least you can I.D. this and work with us.

Very informative discussion 👏
What a wonderful concept. His sincerity is evident. A great program to promote to law enforcement
As a graduate of social work , this means a lot to me..It leads me to be a better social worker in the future
I am impressed, we need more people in law enforcement like him!
This guy is not a real cop. He is a liberal pretending to be a cop.

What a great service for my community Washtenaw County.
Thanks Missy!

This is the way to fix problems. Not rearresting people every other month. I wish more people would realize this.

I hope this way of policing spreads!

Beautiful.I loved how this topic was tied together with Social work.
such powerful thinking, great view point.
The human side of criminal justice is imperative. If we continue to see criminals as monsters, they will never change.

He made a great argument for abolishing the police.
OMG I have met you before! it was during an infurupters thing. and now your on ted talks!!
Love this and you.
Yes, let's promote trauma-informed corrections in our community.
I am an abolitionist social worker and It is quite disturbing that social workers who are committed to social justice are working towards putting people in jail.
Great talk
This was so good!
what are four important mandates social workers need to know in relation to the law ?
Great job Mr Jackson, Can I get a job helping.????
Perfect
the root problem isn't addiction, its trauma in the first place.
This all sounds great, but you'll notice his progressive plans still include arrests. Why?

Can’t send officers to fix the communities problems when they aren’t properly trained.
What relation does this have to gangstalking? Specifically fbi gangstalking?
We all have a responsibility to improve our communities, but the govt can and is supposed to do so much more to improve communities, but continue to make it worse.
The cure is men. There seed. The seed is everything. The secret sauce
