Innovative Community Policing | Matt Lennick | TEDxBillings

How do you deal with the fact that arresting everyone for anything doesn't help? Get creative!
Since 2014 Matt has worked as a Downtown
Resource Officer for the Billings Police Dept, working with the businesses and residents of the downtown area. As part of the Community Innovations Team, and the Motivated Addiction Alternative Program, he assists at-risk individuals and deals with the unique challenges the City faces with individuals experiencing life on the street who may also have mental health, addiction
issues and/or frequent interactions with law enforcement and emergency services.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
