New ABCD Community Security Video-Book

The ABCD Institute Community Security work group has completed the first seven “chapters” of their Community Security video book, Neighborhood Security: The Role of the Community and the Role of the Police
Each chapter is the story of how communities and neighborhoods have worked to increase security and decrease violence. Each story is told by a person involved in the initiative.
There are two kinds of stories. The first describes how local residents have used their own neighborhood resources to increase local security. The second kind involves police officials who have used their position to support neighborhood efforts to increase security.
The viewer can listen to all the stories or select those of greatest interest.
