Text a Message to the Show

Police Social Workers are not a new concept but until now there's not been a nationwide standard for how they are trained or how they are employed alongside police officers. Caroline Ban teaches at Valparaiso University and she has started the first public safety social work certificate program in the nation for people who have their masters in social work or are getting their MSW. Caroline talks about the how social workers can add something valuable to the police team that I know you'll appreciate.
