a. Has or wants deep ties to the community in which they serve.
b. Actively seeks training and education, especially in those areas that lead to de-escalation and deeper understanding, such as: social work, addiction services, mental health counselling, psychology, foreign languages, domestic violence interventions.
c. Are committed to non-violent solutions to community problems.
d. Have a demonstrable commitment to anti-racism (not the same as being unbiased).
e. This is a general list that should be built upon and made more specific and nuanced over time.

Given our community commitment to anti-racism as a way of being together that is essential to community safety and wellness, there must be a means of moving forward.
