MAP Forum

I fully appreciate this might feel like boiling the ocean, or even asking the Free Palestine movement to get into bed with the Directors of Raytheon, but here I would like to raise the possibility of a MAP Law-Enforcement Collaboration. If anything, as a conversation starter.

The precedents have always been strong. B4U-ACT, a collaboration between MAPs and clinicians has been going for almost a quarter of a century, and even successfully obtained state funding during its formative years under the late MAP thought-leader, Michael Melsheimer. By playing the long game, and thinking outside the box, MAPs managed to foster an identity and genuine, organic growth in ways previously unimaginable. It was an unprecedented success.

So, might there be a case for a project where MAPs collaborate with strictly-vetted LEOs?

Or to put it another way. Don't waste your time with the monkey, go straight to the organ grinder.
