Law and Disorder | Reflecting on Columbine: 25 Years Later Artwork

Precinct 444: The National Law Enforcement Museum Podcast

Over a decade of planning and persistence in the making, the National Law Enforcement Museum has opened its doors to the public. Finally, citizens and law enforcement professionals from diverse perspectives and backgrounds will have a place to share in the vibrant story of American law enforcement. Within the walls of the Museum’s strikingly contemporary exterior, artifacts from our collection of more than 25,000 objects tell the story of American law enforcement – past, present, and future – and engage visitors of all ages in memorable, immersive and experiential exhibits. More importantly, we’re proud that the Museum will serve as a platform for constructive dialogue to help strengthen relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve. We invite all listeners to follow us and submit questions for upcoming episodes!

Law and Disorder | Reflecting on Columbine: 25 Years Later

April 24, 2024 • Season 7 • Episode 2

25 years ago, the world watched as two armed students killed 12 of their classmates and one teacher at Columbine High School and ushered a society out of an age of innocence. In the quarter of a century since the tragedy, Columbine has remained at the forefront of many conversations, informing decisions about law enforcement responses to active shooter incidents, and public concerns for the mental health of our youth. In this month's episode of Law and Disorder, we examine the reasons why we continue to talk about Columbine, both in the Law Enforcement field and as a society, and illuminate why the lessons of Columbine continue to matter.

Register for Picking Up the Pieces, a program about how law enforcement and communities rebuild after mass casualty events.
