Beyond the Badge: Rethinking Public Safety

In this timely and necessary conversation, When It Rains host Martine H. Powell sits down with Forsyth County, NC Sheriff Bobby Kimbrough to examine how public safety policies, law enforcement practices, and community relationships directly impact Black youth. Together, they discuss the challenges of building trust, the realities young people face, and the responsibility shared by law enforcement, families, schools, faith leaders, and community members.  This episode goes beyond statistics and headlines to focus on accountability, prevention, and partnership. Sheriff Kimbrough discusses current initiatives, opportunities for reform, and how community engagement can play a meaningful role in protecting and empowering young people, before harm occurs.  If you care about justice, youth advocacy, and creating safer communities through collaboration rather than fear, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
