Dr. Amy Smith Wiech joins me in Session 73 to talk about the implementation of Geller's Actively Caring for People (AC4P) movement in Law Enforcement settings. At its core, ABA is about solving socially relevant problems, and the issue of police shootings, and in a broader sense, police-community relations, couldn't be more relevant these days.
If you're not familiar with AC4P, don't worry... Amy breaks it down for us, and if you're still looking for more information, she provided me this treasure-trove of links to additional resources.
- Derek Reed's (2014) BAP overview of AC4P
- Geller & Kipper's book, Actively Caring for People Policing: Building Positive Police/Citizen Relations
- The AC4Police Facebook Page
- Amy's Symposium at the ABAI 2019 conference
- Real instances of AC4Ppolicing interactions
- AC4Ppolicing on Instagram
- AC4P Ted Talk
- Bobby Kipper's interview re: AC4Ppolicing
