Music Saves Lives
As a Chicago Police Community Policing Sergeant for 9 years and as a Community Policing Lieutenant Music Saves Lives agenda came into existence since I have served in the community with collaborative organizations serving youth and adults hosting music and resource events in the City of Chicago

Evidence MSL Works
Cities nationwide can help break the cycle of violence and retaliation by running programs that focus on the places and people most likely to be affected. These programs aim to change group and individual behavior and to defuse conflicts before they escalate.
During the times MSL integrated into the community to provide opportunities and referrals as well as events, crime lowered because as an organization that is working with law enforcement, street outreach workers, and hospitals to engage with high-risk individuals we were able to give them alternatives to violence.

Real World Experience
Through introducing the creative and healing powers of music, we can insure better communication and relationships to rebuild and grow the communities in which we live and serve.
The role of arts and music in our society fill a void that we all need in order to enrich ourselves and our culture, they provide alternate infinite experiences, and they also further enhance the skills we use in other disciplines and professions.
Violence in many shapes and forms is starting to become the norm, this can be reversed by understanding and teaching that music can easily be used as instrument of peace when there is chaos between people of different origin and background.
