The Community & Officers

"Complicated problems that involve many different communities require diverse teams with both the skills and life experience to know what works in real life, not just on paper. Our LEWIS team represents multiple disciplines and backgrounds, making us well-equipped both professionally and personally to create solutions that actually  improve relationships between law enforcement officers and community members long-term."

-ILIANA ARBEED, Director of Operations & Marketing
