“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world,” Nelson Mandela, former president of South Africa, once said. Ship Bottom Police Chief Jonathan Potter isn’t trying to change the world exactly, just a slice of it on Long Beach Island.

That’s why educating the public on a variety of public safety topics is at the top of Potter’s agenda this summer. Educating Ship Bottom police officers on interacting with the public is also a priority.
