One Safe Place has cultivated an environment of collaborative partnerships between many local nonprofit and public law enforcement agencies under Mr. Shetter’s leadership.
Mr. Shetter earned a Bachelor of Science in Education from Baylor University in 1994 and a Master of Arts in Applied Sociology from The American University in Washington, D.C. in 1995.
