Marsh consulted on the opening of The National Law Enforcement Museum

Bridging the gap between law enforcement and the community

Melissa Howell, writing for Washington’s Top News, reports about the opening of The National Law Enforcement Museum in D.C., which will attempt to bridge the gap between law enforcement and the community. The facility seeks to educate, inform, and foster dialogue around the history and current status of the law enforcement in the U.S. In addition, the museum aims to be a platform for open discussion about controversial issues surrounding law enforcement and its critical role in society. Faculty Associate Kris Marsh told WTOP that the opening of the facility represents a pivotal event that encourages more dialogue between law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve. She noted, “Officers have to understand they have biases, everybody has biases but how can you hold your biases in check so that whether or not the community is black, white, pinstriped or purple, everybody’s getting good customer service.”

The museum offers interactive forensic exhibits, a 911 call center, a hall of remembrance and a thorough outline on the impact of the officer-involved shooting cases.
