How the Derek Chauvin verdict will change the future of policing Wale Aliyu
Derek Chauvin’s guilty verdict brought about many emotions from the community and police.
“There are some folks that are saying, this is an isolated incident and to a certain extent, some of that’s correct,” said Harvard Police Chief Edward Denmark. “At the same time, if it happens at all, there’s room for improvement.”
When Chief Denmark isn’t serving his department, he’s helping to train others. He is one of the prominent voices in Massachusetts and around the country when it comes to training officers in dealing with their own biases and triggers and the biases and triggers of those they come in contact with. Part of the training is figuring out contextual cues when there is a lack of compliance.
