Cops Who Care and Built4Agility drink their own lemonade, Jan 2023.  The merger of these two budding nonprofits is just the latest development in this relationship, as they have been collaborating since 2020 and completing many initiatives in the process. The finalization of this arrangement will not only simplify the relationship and pool resources, it will also drive thought leadership and productivity.

While most entities quote stocks and stakeholder equity as their most valuable asset, for these two nonprofits their synergy and commitment to the communities they serve deliver unimaginable dividends.  It turns out that the merger of Built4Agility and Cops Who Care is not just a smart strategy but, a demonstration of what can be achieved by defying the 'crabs in a bucket' mentality. They are in fact walking the talk.

Detective Lance Watkins is a member of the Board of Directors and has served as the Public Safety Advisor almost since Built4Agility's inception in 2019. He will continue to play a critical role in Built4Agility's future by driving forward the important work of bridging the gap between historically disenfranchised communities and law enforcement.  Together, we remain deeply committed to meeting our communities where they are, standing in our truth, and taking meaningful steps toward rebuilding trust and faith in those who have vowed to serve and protect. It is imperative that we, citizens and police officers, work together harmoniously to make right the perceived wrong.  It’s going to take each of us working together, keeping an open mind, and taking meaningful steps towards bridging the gap that without intervention will only deepen the divide. Cops Who Care will become the second Community of Practice under Built4Agility's ACTion (Agile for Community Transformation) network.
