Our focus on building trust based relationships, both inside the police agency and outside in the community, adds a dimension of importance to the character quality of forgiveness. But it is often confused with granting a pardon. Forgiveness does not excuse consequences. In this video, I explore the difference between forgiveness and pardon.
