About Us
Going Beyond the Lights (GBL), utilizes the experience of retired and former police officers to take “The Talk” to a more in-depth conversation. The teachers of the program are not only retired and former officers; they are fathers, mothers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, godparents, neighbors and other loved ones. Our goal is simple, that is to educate willing participants on how to handle engagements with police.
Most people will have their first interaction with the police on a traffic stop. What seems so simple to some, has led to some serious emotional trauma for both young and old. Something as simple as traffic infraction can lead to serious bodily injury or death. Knowing that, GBL will concentrate this lesson on dealing with traffic stops.
We want to thank you for allowing us to be part of “The Talk” you may have with your loved ones. We pray that the information provided will leave you with a better understanding of handling any police interactions.

Dear Mr. Fountain
I hope this email finds you well.
I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the invaluable work you are doing within the African-American community, particularly your efforts to empower our young men and women. I recently learned about your program and was deeply impressed by its comprehensive and engaging approach. The focus on financial literacy is particularly crucial, as it equips individuals with the skills and knowledge necessary to navigate the complexities of modern finance. This is especially vital given the historical and ongoing systemic challenges faced by our Black community.
The information you've shared has been incredibly beneficial regarding safety, awareness and actionable steps to implement. I've already adapted some of your methods to help educate my son, and I'm confident that your program is a vital resource in preserving and promoting our history and culture in the face of attempts to diminish or distort it. I strongly believe that fostering financial literacy and understanding our shared history are essential components of building a stronger and more empowered community.
Thank you again for your dedication and for the positive impact you are having. I was particularly moved by the turnout at your recent event, a testament to the community's strong support for your mission. I commend you and your team for your tireless efforts.
