The training will bridge the gap between the community and law enforcement with the goal of building trust, overcome biases, and improve relations. The training program, is a POST certified curriculum. Each Game Changer event is intended to provide training value for both law enforcement and community members. Game Changer will bring together probationers in custody and the probation officers for moderated focus groups. Together there will be a discussion on community problems and devise solutions. The moderated focus groups are a safe space which allow participants to discuss the issues that exist between and among them. The Game Changer model calls upon the NCAA, NFL, NBA, MLB, MLS, WNBA, NASCAR, UFC and major artists to allow for moderated focus groups. Once the focus group concludes, all participants adjourn to take in the sporting/entertainment event together in order to spend much needed social/human bonding time together, time that is routinely absent from a typical citizen or police officer’s life routine. Game time allows the participants to see each other in a human light, as members of one team routing for a common denominator: the home team. The ultimate goals for Game Changer are for participants to become better educated about one another, leading to a change in perceptions, which leads to a change in behavior, leading to a change in outcomes.
