At Threat Management Center, Priority Is Not Making it Home

How many of us have been told by police employees that the reason they *must* take such aggressive actions is to “make it home to my family”? That mindset, according to Threat Management Center founder Dale Brown is flawed. Instead, those tasked with protecting others – those who take a salary to do so, should have as their highest priority the safety of others.

Incentives matter. Police, as currently structured, will never provide protection, justice or be accountable. Dale Brown and his colleagues at Threat Management center are proving that these services are better supplied through consensual interactions.
