Two years ago, a man named Deshawn Leeth was named a community engagement officer at the sheriff’s office in Washtenaw County, Michigan. This is a position that, according to the sheriff’s office, is something of a big deal:
Community Engagement is a foundational element of our ability to realize our organizational mission. … Community Engagement isn’t just a program. It is how we communicate, build trust, identify needs, and collaboratively work side by side with our partners to create interventions and provide solutions.
