Suzanne Lacy, Jacques Bronson, Chris Johnson, Sharon Jones, Booker Neal, and Annice Jacoby (1995, Oakland)

The youth involved in The Roof Is On Fire identified conflicts with police as a major concern. These pervasive conflicts are embedded in both youth and adult media cultures. As a means of exploring mutual distrust, TEAM created a series of six weekly dialogs between twenty youth and police officers, collaborating with Police Captain Sharon Jones and facilitators from the U.S. Justice Department. A videotape titled Youth, Cops and Videotape was developed by Jacques Bronson for use by the Oakland Police Department for training in community policing.
