Us versus them | Kim Bogucki | TEDxPennsylvaniaAvenue

Can you imagine reading a national news article with the headline: "The Public and Police Now Trust Each Other in Ferguson, Baltimore, and All Across the Country"? Detective Kim Bogucki, a 27-year veteran of the Seattle Police Department and co-founder of the IF Project, shares her personal views on why all of us - community residents and law enforcement officials - must shed our fears, biases, and labels and change from "Us Versus Them" to "We."

Detective Kim Bogucki is the co-founder of The IF Project, an innovative partnership between law enforcement, currently and previously incarcerated adults, and community leaders. A 27-year veteran of the Seattle Police Department, Kim has developed nationally replicated programs that create dialogue around issues of social justice between members of law enforcement and the communities they serve. In 2007 Kim co-created the West Side Story Project to bring together young people and law enforcement around the performing arts to address the plight of gang violence. She also developed the Donut Dialogues, a series of programs that engaged young people and law enforcement to enhance connectedness and dispel misperceptions about police officers. Kim recently launched Tithe One On, a non-profit focused on creating communities of kindness. She is an active member of the board of directors of the Greater Seattle Business Association (GSBA) and Correctional Industries.
