Thank you to those of you who have donated to LiveKind to help us bridge the gap between law enforcement and the community in Greater New Haven. We’d like to share a success story with you. The New Haven Police Department received a serious domestic call recently, and one of the children in the home was part of our Cops & Kids Program as was one of the officers. The officer and student immediately recognized each other. Within 5 minutes the situation was deescalated and resolved. This is exactly what our program aims to accomplish in every district we can afford to help. Please help us create more success stories like this.

Our Story

LiveKind’s Cops & Kids program connects police officers with children to help replace mistrust and fear with understanding and empathy. Minority children can be particularly fearful of police officers, as they are more likely to have experienced a family member or a friend arrested by a cop. Rebuilding trust between the community and law enforcement is hard - but not impossible. Face-to-face interaction and the ability to ask questions in a safe environment allows both children and officers to see each other as partners instead of enemies. Conversations about race, unconscious and conscious bias and pent up feelings of mistrust and anger all help lead to develop bi-directional empathy. To help foster trust LiveKind also pairs cops and kids in a project that benefits the community. The visible partnership between law enforcement and members of the community help change the perception of police officers and officers in a positive manner leading to more cooperation and less violence.
