Law Enforcement and Community
LiveKind provides powerful programs that facilitate open and safe dialogue between Law Enforcement and Community. The LiveKind Video-Mirroring™ method helps to replace fear and mistrust with understanding and empathy.
Video-Mirroring™ breaks down dangerous barriers of mistrust and bias. It proves to participants that cops and kids are more alike than they are different. Properly implemented and publicized it will affect entire communities.

A Program to Improve Relationships
How do you get young people to talk honestly and openly about their experiences and feelings about police officers?
How do you get police officers to share their concerns, challenges, and hopes about the kids in the neighborhoods they serve?
How do you get Cops and Kids to clearly know each other as human beings with more in common than they ever imagined?
How do you engage the larger community to move toward shared goals?
Achieving a higher level of thoughtful communication is the focus of LiveKind’s “Cops & Kids,” program.
LiveKind™ brings the power of candid thoughts and emotions to real people and combines the videos with a unique facilitation model and Community Action Plan. This process encourages people to challenge their entrenched points of view, change their behaviors, and positively impact their communities.
The videos for Cops and Kids shown on this site were produced for the New Haven, CT Police Department and filmed at PAL Camp New Haven. Their content combined with our Circle of Conversation work to:
The magic of the program evolves as cops and kids engage in conversations and trust building exercises. They address aggression, fear, race, police brutality, preconceived notions, profiling, stereotypes, slowing down thought process, and then problem solve and make commitments together.
LiveKind’s goal is to reduce aggression, increase empathy and kindness, reward cooperation, and to shift both police and neighborhood cultures toward a more positive future.
