Dave Thomas

My practical experience (35+ years policy/curriculum development and training of law enforcement) coupled, with a depth of theoretical knowledge, has afforded me the ability to passionately engage law enforcement, as well as community stakeholders, to move forward professionally and innovatively in addressing and preventing intimate partner violence and community safety. My life’s work has been dedicated to these issues. Throughout my career I have been told that I am approachable, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. This is what I strive to inspire to all of those I work with. The lasting changes and advances in law enforcement that I have witnessed are best achieved when training and technical assistance are provided and embraced at all levels – entry, middle, and command. The goals set in this challenging work can be accomplished for in the immortal words of Dr. Martin L. King, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice!”
