David Mills, Kailee's father and President/Co-founder of Kailee Mills Foundation, was asked to join the November National Law Enforcement Liaison (LEL) webinar along with LEL Katie Alexander.
Katie pulled her resources to figure out the issue regarding the stretch of roadway where the car wreck Kailee was in happened. She had this to say:
After I read on Facebook what had happened, I pulled all my LE resources together within a matter of four days and we had a meeting at the commissioner's office. I brought in one of my experts from Missouri City PD, we got to the root of the problem involving that stretch of roadway, and pulled together a team to work speed STEP out there. This is why they asked me to do the webinar. Too often, we just say we'll do it later and we want to provide to others. We can fix things now...not a year from now. I thought it would be an even better webinar if David joined and shared his story. Unfortunately, [it is easy to] have a tendency to forget the humanity behind what we do and [we] need this reminder that Kailee had a name and she wasn't just a number. It breaks my heart every time I talk about, but it needs to be shared. I have her picture on every one of my presentations from Distracted Driving to Child Passenger Safety, and everything in between. My kids all graduated from Klein Oak, and I lost someone very close to me from not wearing his seat belt (daughter's boyfriend, 16 yr old boy [who lived] next door) so this hits really close to home for me.
The webinar is called: Creating Positive Change in a Challenging Environment. It was an honor to be invited to share our mission and Kailee's story.
