Antipas Harris, from the Urban Renewal Center at First Presbyterian Church Norfolk starts this segment off by telling viewers about Clergy Patrol, an innovative initiative which has pastors in Norfolk, VA riding along with police officers. Chief of Police in Norfolk, Chief Larry Boone, says that Norfolk- population 250, 000- is a city that is diverse, has a thriving downtown and is home to the worlds’ largest naval base. Chief Boone started Clergy Patrol in Norfolk, VA to bridge the gap between community members and the police. Chief Boone tells viewers that he has seen that even when a fragile community may have issues with trust of police, there are often no issues with Pastors and Clergy members. Antipas Harris tells us, clergy members are able to connect with a community’s spirituality in moments of crisis. This is an amazing opportunity to reconnect with individuals and members of the community in which a pastor may not otherwise come in contact. Chief Boone was proactive in having faith leaders partner with Norfolk Police and create relationships, as Pastors have influence and are leaders in their communities, says Antipas Harris. Chief Boone tells us that he also wanted Police and Clergy members teaming up to patrol streets, so that Clergy members could see what police officers experience. This program builds relationships between the police and Clergy members, helps individuals in crisis and also places Clergy members in the neighborhoods that surround their churches. Clergy may provide words of comfort or prayers, in the wake of an incident, or community unrest for police and citizens. Chief Boone says that community engagement is very important in the city of Norfolk. Chief wants to be ahead of feelings and incidents that have occurred in our nation, such as Ferguson and Baltimore. He wants to build authentic relationships with citizens. Antipas Harris says that Clergy Patrol is a profound opportunity to bare witness in the public square, which allows the church to be seen as looking outward (and not just looking inward.) We need more Pastors to get involved, says Dr. Harris, to be leadership that is visible in the community, not just in the church. The ultimate goal of Clergy Patrol is to strengthen the relationships with the citizens of Norfolk through the combined reach of police and clergy, Chief Boone said.
