Aurora Police have a new strategy to help reduce youth gun crime. It partners a police force that’s been under the microscope for its treatment of Black and brown communities with leaders in those same communities to try to keep kids from turning to violence.SAVE, Standing Against Violence Everyday, is different from other policing methods. The intent is to keep individuals alive, safe and free. Aurora Police believe the old way of arresting and incarcerating teens wasn’t changing anything. It didn’t stop youths from joining gangs, nor stop innocent young people from being killed. Something needed to change. But does the Black community really believe the police can change? Jason McBride is left in a position where he straddles both sides of the fence.Host, reporter and producer: Jo EricksonProducers: Stephanie Wolf and Shane RumseyEditor: Rachel EstabrookMusic: Daniel MescherExecutive producer: Kevin DaleArt: Jodi GershThanks also to Hart van Denburg, Kevin J.
