Reality Check Video Card Program

The Reality Check Video Card Program is a community-based educational tool designed to support early intervention and improve communication between law enforcement and the families they serve. The program allows officers to provide parents and young people with access to a Reality Check video as a proactive resource—before a situation escalates into something more serious.

The video content is delivered by Larry Lawton and focuses on accountability, real-world consequences, and the long-term impact of choices. It is intended to give families perspective, encourage reflection, and open conversations that might otherwise be avoided.

By offering the Video Card as a gesture of support rather than enforcement, agencies can help reduce “us versus them” perceptions and reinforce the idea that prevention and education are part of community safety. The program is not punitive and does not replace law enforcement or court processes—it serves as an educational option aimed at awareness, understanding, and early course correction.
