Going For a Ride with the BGPD: Sgt. Edwards Bridges Gaps With Immigrants

http://stream.publicbroadcasting.net/production/mp3/wkyu/local-wkyu-907449.mp3

Bowling Green, Ky – In the second of our two-part series of reports, we take a ride with Bowling Green Police Sgt. Matt Edwards, who patrols some of the city's most ethnically diverse neighborhoods. Sgt. Edwards tells us how he tries to build trust between law enforcement and immigrant communities who are often suspicious of the police. He says a technique known as "community policing" plays a major role in the effort.
