Project Summary - 50 words or less in the space below
Project Cops'i\ Kids: Creating Safer Community will create a curriculum to repair and restore
the relationship beriveen youth and law enforcement officers through theater workshops designed
to explore misperceptions. The results will increase the understanding of both parties and decrease
the volatility of confrontations occurring in the larger community.
: : 97-�
Project °Cops 'N Kids: Creating a Safer Community", is a project that fosters non-violence and
conflict mediation through self-awareness. The relationship between a community and its police is very
unique. The Saint Paul Police Department (SPPD) is lmown for innovative ways of servicing the needs
of ihe public, and this venture is no exception. Briefly, it is a workshop taught by teenagers and police
officers for each othez. Participanu wili leam how their personal view of reality can be a positive
enhancement rather than a negative detraction from their mutual interaction. This will be achieved by
learning: (1} how the mind works to create a personal reality which is unique to each individual, (2)
what role our thoughts, moods and insecurities play in the way we interpret reality, and (3) how to
access a core of innate mental health in a manner that will diffuse conflict and create respect. The
participants will also engage in relating personal incidenu, participate in reverse role scenarios, problem
solve and apply acquired skills in assorted exercises.
Though the workshop is specifically designed to address the relationship between teenagers and police,
the understanding attained will enhance every relationship in a participant's life. The goal of the
workshop is to promote a change in the individual's world view. The underlying assumption is that the
path to sociat harmony lies within the individual. Although it is impossible to control all circumstances
in life, one can control the way one reacts to those circumstances. The deeper the understanding of [he
human condition and the role that the quality of the individual's thoughts play in formulating a
perceprion of the world, the less self-conscious one will become. The less self-conscious, the freer one
is to move from the immediate problem to a solution. •
To date, Cops `N Kids has been proceeding in a methodical and progressive manner. As in every
innovative progam, situations arose which created a problem solving opportunity. Most notably, the two
primary coordinators, 3an Mandell and Dorothy Hoffman, were not available to work on the project.
However, 7an assisted in recruiting the current coordinators, and divided the responsibilities for the project.
Next, there were several budget items that needed attention. Funds had not been allotted to pay teen
participants a stipend, to pay a director for the video, to educate participants in the Psychology of Mind
(POM) approach which is the project's foundation, and for participants to assist in revision. A major
budgetary problem also arose with the reimbursement of the police officers. The budgeted rate of $25 an
hour had been the projected cost, but since the grant was awarded to the SPPD, the officers have to be paid
at the depattment's contractual overtime rate. The cheapest hourly rate ofthose officers participating was
$29, but the average rate was $38. Subsequently, officers have donated a great amount of their own time
and the SPPD has allowed them to participate while on duty at times. In addition, the SPPD has allowed
officers to attend POM training, and has absorbed a great deal of supply and copy costs. Concurrently,
the community coordinators revised the budget. They dzopped their hourly rate from $20 to $16 per hour,
and claim only one hour of compensation for every four hours worked.
As mentioned previously, the original budget did not specify funds for training in the Psychology of Mind
(PONn approach. In the budget revision, the coordinators creatively put together �1,000 for this training.
(The twelve hours oftraining normally costs $4,000.) Psychologist 7oseph Bailey and Social Worker Mavis
Kams have waived all other expenses as their donation to the project. Channel5, KSTP Television, agreed
io do all the production work on the curriculum video. (The estimated cost for the 1.5 hour video is
$�0,000.) A projected cost of $9,000 for production was included in the budget. KSTP agreed to perform
the work for this amount, consequently don ating � 41,000 towards the project.
97-�'
The project officially started on Apri124, 1996, two months later than projected in the original grant. Four
primary coordinators and a director have been hired, and youth have been interviewed and recruited. Job
duties and responsibilities have been defined, budget and time lines refined, and the initial POM training
has taken place. At this time, pertinent information has been collected, the curriculum has been outlined and
is in the process of being written. Stories have been obtained and scripts far the video production are aiso
in the process of being written. Filming is scheduled to take piace in July and August. Exercises and role
play scenarios will be refined.
With the opportunity to have the funding extending over an additional year, it is the intention of those on
the project to have POM personnel train five additional adult and five additional teen instructors in three
twenty-four hour intensive work shops. The four current project coordinators, and the five current potice
officers will also be trained at no additional cost. However, the training will most likely be held out of state,
so there will be travel expenses. POM charges $500 for each of its three progressive courses. The POM
contribution will be appro�cimately $13,500.
With this additional funding Cops `N Kids will be able to put on three additional Cops `N Kids trainings,
one for each schooi trimester, for the purpose of recruiting faculty as instructors and aiso to use c(assroom
input to revise and refine the curriculum. Revision will include development of additional cumculum
structured to fit the needs of the individual participating agencies, for example, two and three ail day
workshops during each semester of the high school, a week of the police academy, and two weeks of after
school programs.
The concept of Cops 'N Kids is premised on the I3eaith Realization or Psychology of Mind (PO1Vn
model, which is based on extensive psychological observations, research, and testing. Co-founder Roger
Mills states:
". .. people's ability to understand and transcend negative circumstances is a natural outcome of
a change in their level of security. When people feel more secure and their thinldng quiets down,
they are able to learn how to use their thinldng processes in an increasingly healthy way. The goal
of POM is to assist people to realize their innate capacity to recognize the extent to which their own
thoughts, taken more or less seriousiy, produce their experience of life moment to moment . POM
teaches people two aspects of understanding the role thought creates in their experience of life:
i. The relationship between ever-changing moods and the quality of thinldng/experience in the
moment; and
2. The unrecognized capacity of all people to find answers beyond their current knowledge base
and memories by accessing a natural thinking process that provides insight, wisdom, common
sense, and fresh ideas."
Saint Paul Psychologist Joseph Bailey concurs: "In worlang with people who had a his[ory of violence,
we found that insecure thoughts from their past served as mental static, blocking their ability to think
cleazly and avoid lmee-jerk reacrions. They had no idea that their thoughts were actually memories from
the past returning to contaminate their present outlook ... when people linked their own feelings of
self-worth to their interactions with others, they were more likely to mistake their thinidng for reality
and act on thoughts that justified violent behavior ... When people don't reatize that they can rise
�7 �
above conditioned habits of thought to rely more on a wiser intelligence for feelings of self-worth, they tend
to become enmeshed in thoughts that lead to hostility." POM is focused on the behavior's source, the
quality of thinking and the understanding of how it creates the individuai's personai reality.
Mills adds that the POM modei "operates on the assumption that a heaithy, mature thought process e�sts
as an innate potential in everyone." It is revolutionary in nature because it asserts that one's own personal
reality is created intemally and not e�ctemally as proposed by numerous psychologicai theories. Psychology
of Mind (POIVn is a new paradigm in the mental health field because it focuses on teaching healthy
psychological functioning rather than on treating illness or solving problems.
Further evidence of his innovative psycho3ogicai approach to social prob3ems is the following:
"Over the past 20 years, POM theorists and therapists have observed that:
� The capacity for healthy psychological functioning (i.e. mental health) is innate to and afways
available to everyone regardless of circumstances or presenting symptoms.
� People can learn to realize healthy psychological functioning and recognize eariy when they are
using their own thinking against themselves.
� People can self-correct, that is they can see how to rely on their own resiliency to ride through the
ups and downs in their thinking."
Doctor Miils goes on to say "through the recognition of moment-to-moment thought as the source of
human feelings and behavior, people are abie increasingly to function from a calmer, more resilient
perspective that provides: '
■ Greater flexibility, satisfaction and ease in communications with family members and business
associates.
■ Increasing levels of personal effectiveness in the face of pressures or problems at home and at work-
the ability to keep one's bearings regardiess of circumstances.
■ Access to a thinking process that provides more creativity, insight and common sense in everyday
life.
e More contentment, ease, joy and gratitude day-to-day.
■ Warmer, more fulfilling relationships with family and friends.
■ The psychological resources to resoive past traumas and troublesome memories in order to enjoy
peace of mind in the present."
To date, most participants of the Cops 'N Kids program have received twelve hours of introductory
training in POM from Psychologist Joseph Bailey and Social Worker Mavis Kam. Officer Edwazd Lemon
has received an additionai six hours of instruction from POM co-founder Roger Mills, and a twenty-four
hour core concepts course from Leslie and Joseph Bailey. Officer Lemon, after attending the core concepts
course, stated, "before the core concepts course I mistakenly thought that I understood the POM model,
I didn't. After ihe course, my understanding of life deepened dramaticatiy. I not only gained immeasurable
respect and humility for my own vatue and potentiai, but for all others as well. As a theology major I can't
tell you how dramatically this affected my comprehension of religious doctrine and the wisdom of the ages.
I discovered the source of a wisdom within myself and then understood where my doubts and insecurities
emanated from. I continue to have insights into how my thoughts create my perception of reality, and how
��-�
Primary to the POM app"roach is the `health of the helper". According to the Health
Realization/Community Empowerment Primer, "one of the most important factors in the
ability to help others is focusing on the health of the helper. ..Our own well being makes it
possible to teach. The more deeply we experience our own health, the more real it is to us. The
more real it is to us, the more easily we can explain it to others." (page 24) As mentioned above,
the next phase which would take place in 1997 would be to train instructors and initial
participants of Cops "N Kids in three twenty-four hour workshops in POM.
