Empowering Communities and Law Enforcement
Building Peace and Strengthen Cities
For over a decade Pastor David Traynham has championed the idea that the relationship between, the community, the police, and law enforcement is built on collaboration and independent partnership. With the mutual objective of creating a peaceful, strong communities, he has assisted law enforcement with their outreach goals by bringing them face to face with the communities they serve.
In 2014 he brought together law enforcement and local community leaders to create the Albany Law Enforcement Resolution Team: ALERT.
ALERT identifies issues that “a” community faces and connects them with the police or law enforcement agency that can best address their concerns and in some cases meet the physical needs a community has.
The success of ALERT has proved his conviction and help foster collaboration and partnership. His passion for peaceful prosperous communities for all has lead to the development of David Traynham Engagement Strategies. DTES is an educational organization, providing access to teachings and resources for communities and law enforcement nation wide. DTES’s , mission is to see spread peace, unity and understanding through education and colaboration.

OUR MISSION
Education for a Sustainable Future
DTES mission is to make communities safer by educating community leaders, police and law enforcement. Providing everyone with the information and tools to build clear channels of communication and strengthen bonds.
Decades of experience has taught us that there are challenges maintaining healthy relationships between communities, the police and law enforcement agencies. This narrative changes when open and honest communication is fostered.
Through open dialogue all parties realize that they are on the same team, striving for safety, health, peace, and prosperity for ourselves, our families, and our communities.
Change cannot happen until trust is built and trust cannot be built without having a relationship. Relationships cannot be built until we get opposing entities face to face.
