The Director of the DHS Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3), William Braniff, recently sat down with the Combating Terrorism Center Sentinel to discuss CP3’s approach to violence prevention and keeping our communities safe. Check out the below post to learn more. To read the full interview, visit: https://lnkd.in/eQYM2Ew7 #CP3 #ViolencePrevention #DHS
July/August Sentinel interview: “A View from the CT Foxhole: William Braniff, Director, Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships, U.S. Department of Homeland Security” by Kristina Hummel and Samuel Bowles “At the macro level, success is creating a culture of violence prevention in the United States akin to our culture of suicide prevention—having individuals understand that this form of violence is preventable and that they have a role play. That’s a cultural change, and it’s a really important one. We’re working to normalize targeted violence prevention, and that will go a long way to reducing the level of violence in the United States.” Access the article here: https://lnkd.in/eQYM2Ew7
