"If kids can learn to respect local law enforcement-and be given that respect back-we'll build safer communities moving forward."
It was the evening news that led to the creation of The iHalt Movement™. When Jim and Judy Williams saw (consecutively) the violence in Ferguson, Riots in Baltimore, shootings of police officers in NYC, they wondered what it was they could do to help? Where was this hatred and anger coming from? Where could they start - to stop it?
The Answer? The Children. Working with children, youths and law enforcement alike to create a trusting and respectful relationship between the two could prevent future crimes.
iHalt works together with participating communities, youth-centered organizations, police, fire and rescue departments and individuals to implement the iHalt educational program and engage local police officers and other first responders to help coordinate and participate in a series of on-site presentations, programs, events,and “Let’s Talk it Out” sessions.
