Founded in 2017 by Travis Salsman, Make Peace with Police (MPWP) was created with a simple mission: to help bridge the divide between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
At a time when tensions, misunderstandings, and division continue to drive people apart, Make Peace with Police encourages something different: mutual respect, open communication, personal accountability, and a willingness to see beyond our differences.
This movement isn't about blindly defending law enforcement or pretending that bad officers don't exist. It's about recognizing that good people exist on both sides of the badge and that building stronger relationships requires accountability, understanding, and respect from everyone.
A NEW CHAPTER, SAME MISSION
After years of personal growth, life experiences, and lessons learned, I've decided to bring Make Peace with Police under the umbrella of Red-Blooded American Misfit (RBAM), a community I'm building around music, personal development, faith, and real-life stories of struggle, redemption, and positive change.
While Make Peace with Police maintains its own identity and mission, becoming part of RBAM allows me to bring my projects together under one platform, reaching more people with a shared message:
Saving Lives by Changing Lives.
Because making peace doesn't mean we have to agree on everything. Sometimes, it simply means learning to respect one another despite our differences.
Welcome to Make Peace with Police. The mission continues.

Don't let his size fool you! Weighing in at less than four pounds, Sergeant Chewbarka is a teacup Yorkshire Terrier packed with personality, spunk, energy, and unconditional love.
As the official mascot of Make Peace with Police and the face of its canine-inspired extension, Make Peace with Pawlice, Sergeant Chewbarka has joined the mission of bridging the divide between law enforcement and the communities they serve, one paw, one smile, and one friendship at a time.
Traveling across the country alongside his human partner, Travis Salsman, also known as the Red-Blooded American Misfit, Chewbarka has posed for pictures with police officers, children, and even members of the United States Secret Service.
Exceptionally well-mannered, affectionate, and trained to interact comfortably with people, Chewbarka has a special way of bringing smiles to everyone he meets. He's more than a mascot; he's Travis's constant companion, best friend, and four-legged partner in life and in the mission.
Because sometimes, bridging the divide doesn't start with a conversation. It starts with a wag, a smile, and four tiny paws.
Make Peace with Pawlice — Small Package. Big Mission.
