Learning about S.T.O.P., Students Talking it Over with Police



MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- Back in 2010, Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn challenged officers to create a program that would address the children in the community about what police do and how they do it. They came up with a program called S.T.O.P. -- or Students Talking it Over with Police. It is designed to address the relationship between future young leaders (ages 12-17) and police in the City of Milwaukee and to decrease the chances of an initial volatile interaction and cultivate sustainable and positive rapport.
