“What led me to become a police officer was the innate desire to help others. I wanted to assist those most in need, especially during their most difficult times.” — Alfred S. Titus, Jr.  

“I remind my students that as new, educated law enforcement officers, they can be part of the police reform happening across this country. They can help shape what policing looks like in the future.” — Alfred S. Titus, Jr.  

Dr. Alfred S. Titus, Jr., read his new children's book about police to children of the 3 D's Aftercare in Baldwin, where he wanted to start the "talk" that many parents of color have with their children about the police.

"This book is written for the children growing up in a world where police and community conflicts occur far too often." wrote Titus in the afterword of his book. As an African-American himself, he told the Herald that he wanted to write the book especially for children of color, as they are constantly exposed to negative messages around police and policing. 

"... being from a tough neighborhood, I spend a lot of time in the streets as well. So, you know, I was constantly moving back and forth between doing what’s right and what’s wrong…at some point, I decided that I wanted to do right and I wanted to have a bright future.”
