Abstract

Current news portrays police-civilian relationships as uneasy at best. To improve relations, E. Scott Geller describes a program of police officers wearing Actively Caring for People wristbands and giving them out to civilians as either feedforward or feedback. Data has been collected illustrating many opportunities for officers to distribute wristbands.
