‘A former officer grapples with the reality of our broken police culture’.
Daniel Reinhardt spent 24 years as a police officer near Cleveland, Ohio in the States. He was long unaware of the ways the culture of the police department was shaping him, but gradually, through his own experiences as a police officer and through the mentorship of Black Christians in his life, his eyes were opened to a difficult truth: police brutality against racial minorities was endemic to the culture of the system itself.
Daniel’s new book from IVP America is ‘Rethinking the Police: An Officer’s Confession and the Pathway to Reform’.
Daniel served as a police officer for 24 years. After retiring from the police force, he was assistant professor at the Heart of Texas Foundation College of Ministry at the Memorial Unit, a prison in Rosharon, Texas. Currently, he’s associate director of student life and applied ministry at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
