Review:
"The Emmy-nominated video, A Line in the Sand: Taking a Stand
Against Crime highlights the law enforcement community’s
commitment to better work with the public they serve... As a
parent, the opening scene touched me deeply… A Line in the Sand
discusses how officers can bond with citizens via neighborhood
watch programs. The video emphasizes: put the neighbor back in
neighborhood. The video demonstrates how lack of community
involvement can allow crimes to occur, and how concerned
citizens can be directly responsible for the apprehension of
criminals, including child molesters and murderers."
