From Tension to Trust: A High School Student's Mission to Unite Communities

In recent years, tensions between law enforcement and certain segments of the community have escalated. There have been calls to defund the police and efforts to reimagine police interactions with the public.

One local high school student experienced this tension up close. That inspired him to take action and speak out.

Two years ago, Jasur Talipov launched the Trust The Badge Podcast to foster trust between the community and law enforcement.

He has recorded around 20 episodes featuring conversations with current officers, politicians, and citizens. While he acknowledges the legitimate incidents that have cast police in a negative light, he believes that the positive aspects far outweigh the negative.

On this episode of the Blue View Podcast, National President Patrick Yoes sits down with Jasur to discuss what inspired him to speak up in support of law enforcement and in an effort to bridge the divide.
