"I AM: Proud" -- "B Inspired" Encore Episode Features Police Chief Barry Leatherman

Ed.: This "Encore Performance" of the "B Inspired" podcast was recorded in 2020, but Barry Leatherman serves the Boyertown community, and I didn't want listeners who weren't tuned into its early episodes to miss getting to know more about him.

Police Chief Barry Leatherman’s challenge can be summed up as "Make America Kind Again." Jane was inspired over 40 years ago by the determination of this gifted ninth grade student and knew his perspectives today as a community leader would offer new inspiration.

Barry Leatherman, Chief of the Eastern Berks Regional Police Department, shares some personal history about his family and career journey, offers insights about challenges facing policing and the community he serves, and suggests a response and a challenge.
