A special effort is being made to recruit female police officers across the state. We talk with a veteran of the force and learn about a program that’s training more women to join policing. Also the Nametag Project, an effort to break down social barriers and build up community by getting people to introduce themselves.

And we hear from the Nametag Project, an effort to build community through simple introductions.
