In a recent South Florida case, the defendant was charged with driving under the influence. The key testimony in the case was pre- sented by a Miramar Police Depart- ment officer who was dispatched to a particular location in reference to a driver passed out behind the wheel of a vehicle. The eastbound lanes of that street are within the boundaries of the city of Miramar, while the west- bound lanes are in the city of Pembrooke Pines. The Miramar and Pembrook Pines Police Departments had a "mutual aid agreement" to assist each other in investigations. Upon his arrival, the officer observed the defen- dant’s vehicle idling in the middle lane of the three westbound lanes. The vehicle was on the Pem- brooke Pines side of the border, facing west. The of- ficer determined that the vehicle posed a danger to other drivers. He parked behind the vehicle and ac- tivated his emergency lights. Both the front windows of the defendant’s vehi- cle were rolled down and the defendant was passed out in the driver seat with the ignition on and the vehicle in drive. His foot was on the break. A pas- senger was also passed out. The officer reached into the vehicle, put it in park, and turned the ignition off. The defendant was still sleeping and the officer yelled at him to wake him up. An odor of alcohol wafted in the officer’s direction as the two men con- versed. The defendant told the officer he was going to the Hard Rock or the Mardi Gras Casino, but the officer knew those establishments we're located east and the defendant was headed west. The officer ob- served the defendant's bloodshot and glassy eyes. Rescue units arrived and the responders spoke to the defendant and the passenger. Upon their de- parture, the officer directed the defendant to exit the vehicle. The defendant was unsteady as he walked on the sidewalk, and he was confused.

Building Connectionsfor a Safer City

By Mayor Lenny Curry

Ensuring the safety of ourcitizens is the most importantresponsibility of government,and my administration's top pri-ority. Good preparation, plan-ning and execution are essentialto that effort.

I am extremely grateful for the partnerships inwhich so many stepped up in the wake of Hurri-cane Hermine. From the emergency responders andcity employees who worked through the night re-sponding to traffic, debris and stormwater-relatedissues, to JEA personnel working to restore power,to 630-CITY staff who worked 24 hours to serve cit-izens, I am so proud of the way our team pulled to-gether to serve our community. While we preparedfor the worst, the storm did not greatly impact Jack-sonville.

The advance planning and hard work duringthe storm spoke volumes about Jacksonville’s abil-ity to effectively respond to severe weather events,but natural disasters aren’t the only threats to publicsafety. We must also be ready to tackle any threat topublic safety.

Communities in Boston, Paris, Orlando andother locations throughout the globe have facedtragic incidents that required the support of multi-ple agencies. That’s why I recently convened fed-eral, state and local officials, representatives fromthe Federal Bureau of Investigation, Emergency Op-erations Center, Jacksonville Fire & Rescue, Jack-sonville Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Secret Service,to review and discuss practices and procedures re-lated to the safety of Jacksonville citizens in theevent of a disaster.

It’s critical that agencies get together in a roomto discuss our collective efforts to protect the livesof our citizens. Throughout the year, we hold mul-tiple meetings, simulated workshops and briefingsto help City and state officials plan and prepare foremergencies. These meetings help us build a strongand collaborative network of leaders committed toprotecting the people of Jacksonville.

Forms of Domestic ViolenceDomestic violence takes many forms and can happen occa-

sionally or continuously. It often gets worse over time. Exam-ples of different forms of domestic violence are outlined below.

Psychological andEmotional Abuse

The victim is told that she is ugly, fat, hopeless, stupid, abad parent, etc. Forms of this kind of abuse include stalking,intimidation or emotional blackmail with statements such as:“If you really love me, you would…”

Social AbuseThe victim is not allowed to see the people she wants to see,

or doesn’t see family or friends because “it isn’t worth all thearguments.”

Financial AbuseThe victim is not given enough money to feed and clothe

herself or her children and/or receives no money for payingbills but is expected to make ends meet. The victim may alsobe forced to hand over her money or is prevented by her per-petrator from getting or keeping a job.

Physical AbuseThe victim is pushed, shoved, slapped, hit, punched or

kicked, or objects are used as weapons against her. This is themost obvious form of domestic violence.

Domestic – Continued from page 1

I have stood over too manychildren whose lives were cutshort too soon. Child deathcases are some of the toughest

we handle at the State Attorney’s Office. I willnever understand how someone can hurt achild.

Losing a loved one at the hands of crime isdevastating — especially when the victim is achild whose life was taken far too soon. Asthese families struggle to move forward, it is im-portant that they know that they are not aloneand that their loved one will never be forgotten.

Recently, one group of local artists came to-gether to help honor young victims of homicidethrough painting. Portraits for Hope, a projectorganized through Compassionate Families,Inc., is a traveling art exhibit that features por-traits of the young men and women whose liveswere lost due to violence in our community. Sofar, 70 portraits make up this exhibit and havebeen displayed at a number of different loca-tions, including libraries and churches, through-out the city.

I, along with Assistant State AttorneysMark Caliel and Alan Mizrahi, attended thegroup’s portrait unveiling in honor of two-year-old David Galarriago, who was tragically killedby his older brother. David’s mother was alsocharged in the crime. We were honored to standin as David’s family during this event.

Dozens of families were also in attendancewith us to see their loved one’s portrait for thefirst time and meet the artist responsible forpainting it.

Portraits for Hope doesn’t just honor thelives of these young victims, it also serves as areminder to their families that they aren’t alonein their journey to move forward.

TO PROTECT AND SERVEOur monthly recognition for the best of the best

Police Supervisor of the Month

Jimmy Judge

Judge is recognized for his overall leadership roleswithin JSO. He is a watch commander in Patrol Zone 3,which includes Southside, Mandarin and parts of Intra-coastal areas in the city.

For the past 16 years, Judge has been a member of theField Force Unit, which he currently manages. Judge trainsmembers to be prepared in the event of large-scale civil un-rest in Jacksonville.

The management of this unit requires a high degree ofcommitment and organizational skills, both of which Judge possesses and displayson a regular basis. He ensures that these officers have the supplies they need andare properly prepared to respond immediately.

In 2015, Zone 3 experienced a supervisory staffing shortage that required shiftingtwo squads to another Police Lieutenant. Judge accepted the additional 17 officers,including the Zone 3 Traffic Unit, which increased his total responsibility to 38 of-ficers and three supervisors. He frequently assisted the midnight supervisor incharge with any challenges that arose during patrol shifts and ensured that the su-pervisor had a reliable resource during critical incidents.

Assistant Chief of Zone 3 Mat Nemeth said, “The incidents above are examplesthat typify Lt. Judge’s longstanding commitment to this agency. After more thantwenty years with this organization, Lt. Judge continues to demonstrate a positive,professional attitude that is reflected in his officers’ and supervisors’ performanceand commitment to our community. It is a privilege to work with a supervisor ofthis caliber and I commend his consistently outstanding performance.”

Corrections Sergeant of the Month

Michael R. Potter

Potter is assigned as a supervisor in the jail’s Classifi-cation Unit. In addition, he also relieves the JudicialProcess Office when that area supervisor is out of the of-fice. He is recognized for his overall approach to his job.

Part of Potter’s area of responsibility is the Inmate Dis-ciplinary Hearing Process and the housing of inmates atthe jail for various purposes including segregation forsafety, security, medical, and/or mental health reasons.

Although Potter has not been assigned to this area forlong, he has exemplified the Sheriff’s Office core value of “Always Improving” ashe continues to focus on the department’s tracking of inmates’ housing history.The result is increased communication between staff, which produces a safer en-vironment, enhanced intelligence gathering efforts, and ensures efficiency.

Potter also assists with the re-accreditation process by ensuring that multipleareas throughout the facility are staffed with the sufficient amount of inmate laborneeded to keep the facility up to accreditation standards.

Lastly, Potter is an instructor at the Firing Range. He has received praise fromother supervisors about how well he handles the safety and training process duringthe firearm requalification classes.

His immediate supervisor, Corrections Lieutenant Clarence James said,“Sergeant Potter is respected and trusted by his subordinates, fellow sergeants andsuperiors. He has established himself as…a true professional.”

Police Sergeant of the Month

Jason B. Bailey

Bailey is currently assigned as a supervisor in Zone 1,which includes the Springfield and downtown areas ofJacksonville. Before recently being promoted, he was as-signed to Patrol Zone 3. He is recognized for his accom-plishments last year that led to numerous arrests in theSouthside area of the city.

In May 2015, Bailey’s attention to detail resulted in thearrest of a suspect who had robbed a Dairy Queen at gun-point. After seeing the individual’s picture in an intelli-

gence bulletin, Bailey observed this person walking on Emerson Street. He tookthe suspect into custody without incident and the individual confessed to thecrime.

Then in November, Bailey identified and eventually arrested a serial armedburglary suspect who had committed more than ten crimes in the Southside area.Thanks to his hard work and diligence, this individual was apprehended and sev-eral open cases were cleared.

Additionally, Jason responded to numerous “auto burglary in progress” calls.Often, the apprehension of the individuals involved will lead to multiple casesbeing cleared. During one case in particular, Bailey responded to a call at the Beau-clerc Bay Apartments on San Jose Boulevard in which the suspect fled the scene.Through a detailed canvas of the area, Jason located another individual who fellvictim to this crime. He also gathered enough information to identify the auto bur-glary suspect. The arrest of this individual resulted in the clearance of multiplecases.

Below is an overview of Bailey’s productivity last year:• Responded to over 300 on-viewed calls• Made 54 felony arrests• Made 33 misdemeanor arrests• Made 6 juvenile arrests• Wrote 124 traffic citationsBailey’s former supervisor, Police Lieutenant Jimmy Judge, who is also recog-

nized this month, said his performance in all categories is far and away the best inhis zone. He went on to say, “he always comes to work with an exceptional atti-tude and positive demeanor.”

Corrections Officer of the Month

Jose N. Rivera

Rivera is assigned as the Inmate Labor Officer at anarea jail. He is recognized for his hard work overseeingthe repairs made by the inmate population at the Pre-TrialDetention Facility.

His knowledge of facility operations allows him toproperly assign skilled inmate workers to conduct repairs.Utilizing inmate labor in this way results in thousands ofdollars being saved for the agency and taxpayers.

When the lower level of the jail had been flooded,Rivera quickly re-organized and re-assigned inmates to handle the flood-damagedareas. Under his leadership, they cleaned, decontaminated and assisted the main-tenance department in repairing the affected area.

Additionally, he volunteers his free time to mentor third and fourth grade at-risk youth.

Corrections Lieutenant Clarence James said, “Officer Rivera is respected andtrusted by his fellow officers and superiors. He has established himself as one whois diligent, hardworking and most important of all, a true professional.”

notified the Pembrook Pines Police Depart-ment of the situation, but their officers were at-tending to a robbery and could not respond.The defendant declined the officer’s request tosubmit to a field sobriety test, and he refusedto give a breath sample. He was arrested andtaken to the police station.

On appeal, the defendant argued that theofficer did not have the authority to stop andarrest him for a misdemeanor crime committedoutside of the officer’s jurisdiction. He deniedthat his behavior constituted a breach of thepeace, and he argued that the officer could de-tain him, but could not have conducted a law-ful DUI investigation.

The appellate court, in its decision, reiter-ated several basic principles of our commonlaw. Public officers have no official power toarrest an offender outside the boundaries oftheir county or municipality. Law enforcementofficials do have the same ability to make anarrest, as does a private citizen, when they areoutside of their jurisdiction. It’s established inour common law that a private citizen can ar-rest a person who, in the citizen’s presence,commits a felony or a breach of the peace. Fi-nally, an officer may arrest an offender outsidehis jurisdiction when the two law enforcementagencies enter into a mutual aid agreement.However, the court ruled that the mutual aidagreement did not apply in this case becausethe officer testified he was completely unaware

of the contents of the agreement, and the stateprosecutor failed to introduce into evidence acopy of the agreement.

The court concluded that the officer did in-deed observe a breach of the peace. The defen-dant was found passed out in the driver seat ofthe vehicle that was stopped in the middle oftraffic. The passenger was also passed out. Thecar was in drive and the driver’s foot was onthe brake. The court concluded that it "strainedcredulity" for the defendant to assert that hedid not pose a threat to the safety and order ofthe public. However, the court also concludedthat the officer acted under the color of lawwhen he began conducting his DUI investiga-tion. A private citizen would not have beenpermitted to lawfully administer a breatha-lyzer test and conduct field sobriety exercises.If an officer gains access to evidence where hehas exceeded his authority under color of law,that evidence must be suppressed. The appel-late court concluded that the evidence the offi-cer obtained when he asked the defendant tosubmit to a breathalyzer, requested him to per-form field sobriety exercises, and transportedhim to the station should be suppressed. Theofficer would be allowed to testify to what heobserved prior to the request for field sobrietyexercises. The legal case is titled Mattos v.State, and was decided by the Fourth DistrictCourt of Appeals on August 24, 2016.

Governor Scott and Law Enforcement LeadersHost Florida Missing Children’s Day

Florida Department ofLaw Enforcement Commis-sioner Rick Swearingenopened the ceremony andurged everyone to be educatedon child safety and abductionprevention. He said, “we allplay an important role inkeeping our children safe.When a child goes missing, itis vital that law enforcement,the public and media work to-gether to help in a safe recov-ery. Please take time today tosign-up for AMBER and Miss-ing Child Alert notifications orfollow FDLE on Facebook andTwitter to receive the alerts.”Following Swearingen’s re-marks, the ceremony pausedfor a moment of silence forFlorida’s missing children.

Governor Scott deliveredthe keynote speech. Hepraised the state’s efforts inchild protection saying, “Wehave a legislature that is verysupportive of law enforce-ment—very supportive of tak-ing care of every family in ourstate and understands that

every family deserves to livein a safe environment and willdo everything they can tomake sure that this is the statethat people want to live in.”He also said, “Our prayers arewith the parents of missingchildren. These children andtheir legacy is the driving forcebehind our efforts to ensureFlorida is the safest state in thecountry for our families andcitizens.”

Governor Scott told thegathering that nearly 35,000children a year are reportedmissing in the state of Florida.In 2015, Florida law enforce-ment agencies received 34,221reports of missing childrenand issued six AMBER Alerts.According to an FDLE press

Harriet Beecher Stowe is well-known asthe author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, the great 19thCentury novel about the cruelty and dehu-manizing effects of slavery. Many also knowthat she was a winter resident of the Jack-sonville community of Mandarin for manyyears after the Civil War. Much less known

mercilessly abused his wife andchildren.

In the years following theCivil War, Harriet BeecherStowe was one of the most fa-mous and influential women inthe world. In 1851, she had writ-ten Uncle Tom’s Cabin, the greatnovel that graphically describedthe horrendous acts of abuse ofslaves at the hands of their own-ers. The book was a huge suc-cess around the world and madeStowe famous as an advocate forthe emancipation of slaves. His-torians credit Uncle Tom’s Cabinto have been instrumental in in-fluencing sympathy for the abo-lition of slavery. As a result,while she might not have beenadmired by all Americans at thetime, she was adored by the cul-tural elite of the world.

In 1867, with the money sheearned from the publication ofUncle Tom’s Cabin and otherwritings, Stowe bought a winterhome in Mandarin on the St.Johns River. She and her familycontinued to spend wintersthere for 15 years. She pur-chased an orange grove and herbrother opened a school to teachemancipated slaves. She becamea prominent promoter of life inFlorida, and is credited with in-fluencing the huge tourist tradeexperienced by Jacksonville inthe late 19th century. She evenwrote a popular book, PalmettoLeaves, describing the beautyand advantages of living inFlorida. Her home was locatedjust east of the present locationof the Mandarin CommunityCenter, and the Mandarin Mu-seum contains many artifacts re-lating to her life in Florida.

But Harriet Beecher Stowewas not one to rest on her lau-rels. She continued to writebooks and articles for nationalmagazines. Moreover, she had anatural instinct to be a victims’advocate, even when it becamenecessary to put her own fameand fortune on the line. She be-friended Annabella Milbanke,the widow of the famous poetLord Byron. During a visit be-tween the two, Lady Byron de-scribed the many ways thatLord Byron had abused her andher children. As Julie Markusdescribes in Lady Byron and HerDaughters, the domestic abuseperpetrated by Lord Byron wasoften violent and bizarre. Hehad many public affairs withother women, including his ownsister, with whom he had achild. He beat Lady Byron,ridiculed her in public, and fi-nally threw her out of her homealong with her daughter and his

illegitimate daughter from hisincestuous relationship with hissister.

As Ms. Markus points out,domestic abuse by husbandswas neither un-common nor nec-essarily illegal atthat time. Underthe English com-mon law conceptof coverture,women werelegally consid-ered chattel, thepersonal prop-erty of their hus-bands. They hadlittle propertyrights, and it was generally legalfor husbands to beat and evenrape their wives. And, of course,women could not vote. In sum-mary, women had few rightsand it would not have been con-sidered particularly outrageousthat Lord Byron was abusive tohis wife.

Despite Lord Byron’s abu-sive behavior, Lady Byron suf-fered the humiliations of herabuse with grace and dignity. AsMarkus describes in fascinatingdetail, she went on to live a veryproductive life helping others.She founded the first school forimpoverished infants in Eng-land. She was a poet in her ownright as well as a gifted mathe-matician. She raised and edu-cated her remarkable daughter,Ada Lovelace, who was a bril-liant mathematician and has be-come recognized as the founderof modern computer science.

Until she met Harriet BeecherStowe, Lady Byron had sufferedher abuse in silence. She had lit-tle choice given her unequallegal status and Lord Byron’s

power and pres-tige.

Lord Byronwas not just anyman. He was andstill is one of Eng-land’s greatestpoets. At the timeof his death, hewas one of themost famous menin the world. Hewas admired bymen and adored

by women everywhere he went.In today’s terms, he was like arock star long before rock ex-isted. There were few men inthe world that could stand up tohis reputation and have thecourage to expose him. And cer-tainly, there was no woman inthe world with the audacity andpower to attack Lord Byron. Ex-cept one: Harriet Beecher Stowe.And she dropped a bomb thatreverberated around the world.

Shortly before Stowe metLady Byron, Lord Byron’s girl-friend published a book harshlycritical of Lady Byron, subject-ing her to even more abuse. Out-raged by that book and afterlistening to Lady Byron’s de-scription of her years as a victimof domestic abuse, Stowe de-cided to use her own formidableprestige and influence to be-come Lady Byron’s advocate.She decided to expose Lord

Byron’s domestic abuse of hiswife and children. She submit-ted an article to The AtlanticMonthly, a national monthlymagazine, detailing the domes-tic abuse as well as Byron’s in-cestuous relationship with hissister. At first, Atlantic Monthlyrefused to publish the article astoo explosive, but the article wasfinally published after urging byOliver Wendell Holmes, wholater became an importantSupreme Court Justice. The re-action was swift and tremen-dously negative. The AtlanticMonthly’s circulation declinedby 15,000 and almost went outof business. Apparently, whilethey lauded her advocacy forvictims of slavery, the eliteupper classes around the worldbelieved it was unacceptable forher to advocate for victims ofdomestic abuse—especially vic-tims of Lord Byron’s domesticabuse.

But Harriet Beecher Stowedid not back down. In fact, sheexpanded her attack on LordByron in a book titled Lady ByronVindicated. In doing so, she puther entire reputation on the line.In the view of many around theworld, she had made a big mis-take and suffered for it. Her rep-utation was tarnished greatlyamong the upper elite classes ofthe day. Today, however, thanksto Julia Markus’ fine book, weknow now that she was a bravevictims’ advocate not only forslaves but also for victims of do-mestic abuse. Indeed, her repu-tation in history shines evenbrighter today for her advocacyfor victims of domestic abuse. Ifshe were alive today and livingin Jacksonville, Harriet BeecherStowe would undoubtedly pro-mote the mission of the JusticeCoalition in advocating for do-mestic abuse victims.

Florida is a zero-tolerancestate for human trafficking, andrecently I conferenced with keymembers in the fight to end thishorrific crime. In September,the Statewide Council onHuman Trafficking’s Legisla-tive and Special InitiativesCommittee conferenced to dis-cuss our continued work tohelp victims and survivors oftrafficking and to ensure thecriminals who target them areput behind bars. With the workof dedicated Floridians, includ-ing educators, law enforcement

officers, lawmakers and sur-vivors, we can achieve our mis-sion to end human trafficking.

Awareness and knowinghow to recognize a victim arekey factors in the fight—that iswhy my office worked with theFlorida Department of Law En-forcement this summer to up-date the two-hour humantrafficking online trainingcourse for law enforcement of-ficers. The course is now live,and more than 5,000 law en-forcement officers have alreadytaken the training.

Combating human traffick-ing is an all hands-on-deck ef-

fort, and I am excited to co-hostFlorida’s 2016 Human Traffick-ing Summit next month, bring-ing together those dedicated tothe effort. This summit is a per-fect example of the team workthat will eradicate human traf-ficking in Florida. Hundreds of

attendees will include commu-nity leaders, educators, health-care providers, lawenforcement, legislators, serviceproviders and survivors.

My office, along with theCouncil, the Florida JuvenileJustice Foundation, DJJ, DCF

and the University of CentralFlorida are hosting this infor-mation-filled conference onMonday, Oct. 10, 2016 in Or-lando. Throughout the day, at-tendees will participate intargeted breakout sessions,workshops and training oppor-tunities.

The National Network toEnd Domestic Violence(NNEDV), a social change or-ganization, is dedicated to cre-ating a social, political andeconomic environment inwhich violence against womenno longer exists. As part of Do-mestic Violence AwarenessMonth, NNEDV urges anyoneinterested in learning about is-sues related to domestic vio-lence to join their book club,Reader with a Cause.

Domestic violence isn’t al-ways easy to talk about. It’s adifficult subject, but it’s criticalto raise awareness throughdiscussion. According toReader with a Cause, “Manyof today's most popular booksraise issues that are connectedto domestic violence, sexualassault, or stalking—creatingthe perfect opportunity to dis-cuss the importance of these

issues with our friends, fami-lies, and coworkers.”

Every month, a new bookis posted on Goodreads toread and discuss. Discussiontopics typically include equal-ity, empowerment, and vio-lence against women. As youread, questions concerning orrelated to domestic violenceare posed. For example, wasEdward and Bella’s relation-ship in the Twilight series un-healthy? Did The Girl with theDragon Tattoo series really dothat much to raise awarenessabout violence againstwomen?

Reader with a Cause is“for readers who believe inequality and dream of a worldwhere domestic & dating vio-lence, sexual assault, andstalking no longer exist.” Tolearn more, visitwww.nnedv.org.

When a young girl wasbrutally battered and sexuallyassaulted last year, it rockedthe Arlington community. InAugust of 2015, the 8-year-oldgirl was playing outside withfriends when she was draggedinto a patch a woods near theEagle Pointe Apartments inthe evening hours.

Addressing the mediaafter the attack, JSO Directorof Investigations TomHackney said, “I’ve seen whatthis guy did to this little girl.To say it's heinous is theunderstatement of the year.”Since then, not much progresshas been made in finding theattacker. Tips and leads havebeen few and far between andhave not yet yielded a suspect.

For Impact Church, theattack was especially heart-breaking. “We are committedto the Arlington community.We’ve been located within thecommunity for twenty years,”said Joy Hervey, Director ofGlobal Missions at ImpactChurch. As part of its mission,Impact has been imple-menting new initiatives andprograms to help strugglingcommunities in Jacksonville.Through these initiatives, theyhave gotten to know many ofthe people in Arlington andstrengthened their relation-ship with the community.

During a back to schoolshoe drive last year, Impactbecame acquainted with thefamily of the young sexualassault victim. “This familywas on our list of families thatwe had received fromcommunity agencies that werein need of shoes for the schoolyear, said Hervey. “So whenwe reached out to the familyand invited them to come tothe giveaway event, that’swhen we found out what hadhappened to her and we wereable to make a personalconnection with her family.”

Members of Impactimmediately came together tooffer support and help thefamily in any way that theycould. “We bought some itemsfor the girl and found outwhat she liked and made a gift

bag for her,” said Hervey.“When we visited the younggirl and her mom in thehospital you could just see thelevel of violence that wasperpetrated against her and itwas really saddening.” Whenit became apparent thatpeople were not willing tocome forward with informa-tion, Impact was compelled todo more. They have offered a$6,000 reward for informationthat would lead JSO to asuspect. “We said that in orderto be a part of the solution, wewanted to do our part to makesure that if anybody had anyinformation about this crimethat they would be compelledto come forward,” Herveysaid.

Impact has also beenactively involved in improv-ing the communities’ relation-ship with police. They haveworked closely with JSO toincrease officer presence andreverse the negative image ofpolice that is often prevalent inthese neighborhoods. Impactand JSO have worked togetherto organize neighborhoodwatch meetings andcommunity safety walks – themost recent one involvingSheriff Mike Williams. “JSOhas sent officers to thecommunity events just to helppeople understand that theofficers really are there for thegood of the community and

“Without Justice Coalition I would have been lost in the systemsomewhere and not known half of what was going on. Myadvocate, Lysa Telzer, went to court with me every single time –more than 40 times – and helped me understand what eachhearing was about. She called to keep me up-to-date and check onme and was at my side for four years of a retrial. She was justawesome. The Justice Coalition is so important to this communityso victims’ families do not feel like they have been pushed asideand not cared about in the Justice System.”
