7
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:34.119
<v Speaker 1>on twenty first Century Policing are convinced that these fifty

8
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:38.960
<v Speaker 1>nine concrete recommendations for research, action, and further study will

9
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.759
<v Speaker 1>bring long term improvements to the ways in which law

10
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:47.320
<v Speaker 1>enforcement agencies interact with and bring positive changes to their communities.

11
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:52.079
<v Speaker 1>But we also recognize that the administration, through policies and

12
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:56.240
<v Speaker 1>practices already in place, can start right now to move

13
00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:01.560
