About You & Five-O & BJ
You & Five-O, LLC was created in 2015. The founder Beverly “BJ” Council started out with what she knew about policing and what she thought the community needed to hear in order to get home safely after police interactions. However, after hearing and listening to over three thousand community members, primarily African-Americans, what she heard repeatedly was the community telling her what they needed. Which was help in understanding law enforcement and how to navigate with that knowledge.
BJ didn’t hear thousands of different concerns from the community about policing, she heard the same FIVE. So, after eleven years of her listening to their experiences, voices and stories, the community gave her their Top Five concerns. She heard them and You & Five-O, LLC now teaches based on those concerns. That is real community policing. That’s how We All Get Home.
B.J. Council is a retired police executive from Durham, N.C. She retired from the Durham City Police Department in 2010. She was the first African-American female to reach the position of Deputy Police Chief.
