Facilitating meaningful connections between police officers and the community they serve. #Heyblue
About us
The Hey, Blue! Mobile Application Incentivizes community members to seek out police officers in order to have positive interactions. Each positive interaction builds a greater connection between the officer and a child that they mentor in the community they serve. How it works: Community members will be rewarded with points for every positive interaction that they have with a police officer. Points can be redeemed for necessities or to pay down municipal penalties such as parking tickets or moving violations. Officers receive points as well! The points they accrue get donated to children/families in the community in which they serve.

Mentorship happens in many ways and in many forms. Listen on how impactful Mentorship is and how it is a great way to recruit and retain good officers. We at Hey, Blue! feel that every officer should be a mentor to children in the community that they serve.

(Part 2) When you walk into a store and find the beauty care section for minorities locked, it sends a powerful message. It isn’t just an oversight; it’s a reality many face. When we connect and start talking, the conversations can sometimes go to places we don't expect. It's ok for us not to have all the answers. The fact that we are willing to listen and learn another perspective is the shared humanity and respect we are all searching for. Through #Community and #Connection we can bring #Change. #Heyblue

Despite what is sometimes portrayed, change is occuring. In communities across the country, bonds are being built, conversations are being had, and progress is being made. Let's continue to challenge the narrative and recognize the efforts toward understanding and unity.

Lieutenant Mike's (NYPD) story shows how a simple, positive interaction with a cop can make a huge difference. Jason's mentorship not only helped him but also created real connections between law enforcement and the community. Let's keep building those bridges together! 🙌 #CommunityFirst #PoliceMentorship #BuildingBridges #HeyBlue #fyp #Community #Connection #Change Big Brothers Big Sisters of America ------Police Officers as Mentors in the community they serve. What an incredible idea that has life changing impact.-----
