Why do you want to be a PAARI Pro?
“I am interested in participating in the PAARI Pro initiative as I feel strongly in the need for inter-agency collaboration with respect to the field of police deflection. As a field, police deflection is relatively new, and I believe that the more agencies that learn about and adopt deflection models, the more all law enforcement will benefit.”
