Wounded School Police Officer Continues Prevention Work

Detective Richard Williams of the Atlanta Public Schools Detectives Unit was shot in the back at a school by a student and left paralyzed in the late 1980's. He continues to do his job with gun, gang and violence prevention in the schools. In this video Detective Williams is interviewed by Toronto Police Service School Crime Stoppers Constable Scott Mills at the 2007 Georgia Gang Invesigators Association training conference at St Simons's Island, Georgia. The video was uploaded to YouTube and watched live during Cst Mills' presentation on 'Using the Internet As a Violence Prevention Tool' lecture. The conference delegates gave Detective Williams a standing ovation for his commitment to youth engagement and community safety.
