On Thursday, November 10, the Western Justice Center Distinguished Speaker Series featured a panel of renowned law enforcement officials, Chief Phillip Sanchez, Sheriff Lee Baca and Chief Executive Fraser Sampson.

The recent spate of civil unrest in England and other regions of the world has focused much attention on policing in times of socio-economic uncertainty and turmoil. This evening presented an extraordinary opportunity to interact with three notable law enforcement leaders who spoke on current law enforcement dilemmas locally, regionally, and internationally. The panel discussion explored challenges as well as solutions in preventing and resolving conflict in community-police interactions.
