The Beyond the Bandaids podcast is where police, public safety experts, city leaders, and engaged community members explore how to create real, meaningful change in our communities.
Each week, hosts Dr. Carol Engel-Enright, Kristin Daley, and Chief Mike Butler talk with experts and visionaries who are transforming public service. Discover how innovative leadership, compassion, and restorative practices can bridge gaps and build stronger connections between community stakeholders and police officials.
If you’re ready to rediscover your purpose within your community, enhance your leadership, and make a lasting impact, Beyond the Bandaids with Project PACT is the podcast for you. Whether you’re a police officer, city leader, or committed community member, join us to unlock new possibilities for a safer, more connected future.
Here is a selection of just a few of the important topics that Mike, Carol, and Kristin will explore in coming episodes:
The evolution of policing and how our hosts’ experiences shape their perspectives on justice and reform.
Why the endless tug-of-war over police funding misses the real conversation about safety, accountability, and community well-being.
A fresh perspective on whether police and communities are at odds—or if they can build something better together.
How shifting from reliance on law enforcement to shared community responsibility can create lasting safety and resilience.
What if public safety was built on trust, equity, and collaboration rather than outdated models of enforcement?
