FORUM ON LAW ENFORCEMENT ENCOUNTERS HELD

Recently, members of the Black Law Student Association of the Western Michigan University, Cooley Law School, hosted a forum about encounters with law enforcement. The event was held at Middleton High School, and the theme was “Responding to A Law Enforcement Encounter.” The panelists included representatives from law enforcement and the judicial system. Its purpose was to offer advice to keep students, parents, other members of the community, and the police officers safe during a variety of law enforcement encounters. The panelists were from left to right: Darrell Brown, retired Lieutenant and Shift Commander District 1, Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Department; Jeffrey Swartz, professor, Western Michigan University, Cooley Law School, former Miami-Dade County Court Judge; the Honorable Perry Little, Hillsborough County and Florida Circuit Courts; Faye Brown, retired General Manager 1 Detention Center, Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Department; and Gig Brown, Middleton School Resource Officer, Tampa Police Department.
