What To Do When Stopped by the Police

Being stopped by a police officer is sometimes a traumatic experience, especially in light of ongoing events involving Black people and law enforcement.

This presentation deals with race, racial socialization, racial profiling, societal perceptions, and other issues dealing with the harsh realities of being Black, that community members must know in order to safeguard themselves from harm, particularly when interacting with members of law enforcement. Focused on the realities experienced by people of color in interacting with members of law enforcement, there is still a need to have "TheTalk."

Based on the lived experiences and community activism of more than 10,000 African American law enforcement officers, this program will provide an opportunity to engage with law enforcement guardians to know, better understand and to just get home safely.


This presentation will be held at MAMLEO, 61 Columbia Road, Dorchester, MA
