Changing Police Mindsets from Warrior to Guardian
David Walton
Nov 14, 2024
Modern policing is undergoing significant scrutiny. Articles such as Law Enforcement’s Warrior Problem and We train police to be warriors — and then Send them out to be Social Workers highlight two key challenges facing law enforcement agencies today: 1) a pervasive “warrior mentality” among police officers that fosters distrust and escalates conflict, and 2) a police force that is fundamentally unprepared for the broad social service role they are often called to perform. Officers are trained to approach every interaction with hyper-vigilance, seeing every citizen as a potential threat, which has led to unnecessary force, fear, and a disconnect with the communities they serve.
Meanwhile, studies consistently show that the majority of police time is spent addressing non-criminal incidents, such as traffic stops, domestic disputes, and non-violent calls—areas that require communication and conflict resolution, not just force. So, the question becomes: how do we reframe policing to make it more effective, community-focused, and less prone to escalation?
The Attorney Shield Solution: Empowering the Public, Restoring Trust in Law Enforcement
What if there was an innovative, proactive solution emerging—one that empowers individuals in real time during police encounters and captures video so that everyone can be held accountable? One that could, over time, help shift the culture of policing towards respecting civil liberties. A never-seen-before solution that organically helps build better relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve? This is where Attorney Shield comes in.
Attorney Shield is a mobile app that provides on-demand, remote legal support, offering individuals immediate access to attorneys during potentially high-risk police encounters. Unlike traditional and expensive law firms that are only accessible after the fact and by appointment, Attorney Shield empowers individuals with a “Legal First Responder” at the point-of-contact with law enforcement. The app helps ensure that anyone can affordably access an attorney to protect their rights, de-escalate tense situations, and offer professional legal information in real time. The app and legal service is designed to cut through the legal complexities as a means of achieving the best possible outcome in these high-stress situations.
We are not just offering a product—we are fostering a cultural shift from a "warrior” mindset to a "guardian" mindset
Attorney Shield was created after the founders observed unnecessary use of force by police on an innocent man. This served as clear evidence that the "warrior" mentality dominates much of modern police training and tactics. However, the founders believe the future of public safety should prioritize collaboration, communication, and de-escalation.
Attorney Shield envisions a future where the role of law enforcement is not to be feared but to be trusted as “guardians” of the community. By providing an easily accessible legal lifeline, we help people feel more secure and protected. More importantly, the video footage captured by the app elevates and makes more transparent the mismatched role where America relies on armed police to intervene and solve complex social problems that require nuanced, peaceful interventions because these situations have little to do with criminal activity. This established approach is neither good for police or the public.
The Case for Investment: Why Attorney Shield is Positioned for Long-Term Viability
Investors looking for a promising and impactful opportunity should consider Attorney Shield not only because of its innovative approach to legal support, but because of its ability to capitalize on an increasingly urgent market need. The legal technology space is positioned for growth as consumers seek out more affordable and accessible solutions. Additionally, as public concerns about policing and systemic injustice rise, solutions like Attorney Shield play a vital role in restoring trust between law enforcement and the public.

Furthermore, brand recognition will enhance retention, encourage word-of-mouth, and lead to growing market share.
- Community Impact: Through collaborations with strategic partners and expanding legal expertise, Attorney Shield is leading the way in transforming how legal services are delivered, ensuring long-term market relevance and social impact.
The Future of Public Safety and Legal Services

Focus on cop watcher channel (heres the deal) and will will find ignorance to constructional rights violations everyday. Death incarceration are common with no accountability for their actions. SOCIOPATHIC becomes the law on the streets. Talk ain’t going to do it They need held accountable and receive fines and jail time for their injustice

I am concerned that the incoming doj will be friendly to law enforcement unions who would like this app out of the hands of the civilians whose rights they abuse. And with how that may affect the longevity of attorney shield as even a consumer product much the less as a financial investment.
