Long Beach Police Chief McDonald Visits Youth Institute

Long Beach Police Chief McDonald Visits Youth Institute - Our new Police Chief McDonald visited our Youth Institute on March 30th and had an open dialogue with our Teens about their perceptions of police in general and the police side of the story. Chief McDonald was both factual, caring, and inspirational to our Teens letting them know how police can better interact with them and how they can help the police. It was inspiring to hear that Office McDonald is a first generation American from Ireland who grew up in a poor family. "He can relate" was a comment from one of our teens.
