5/18/23 Beacon DEI Presents: Police Engagement Workshop
How to Survive an Encounter with Police: A Community Forum with Royce Russell
WHEN: MAY 18, 2023 (6PM)
WHERE: Beacon School Auditorium (7th Floor)
About this workshop: Please join Beacon’s DEI Committee in welcoming civil rights and criminal defense attorney Royce Russell for his presentation “How to Survive an Encounter with Police.”
So-called routine stops by police are not routine encounters. They can lead to death or serious injury to the person being stopped. Some of our students will soon be heading off to other cities and states for college, while others may exercise their first amendment rights in some form.
During this forum, Mr. Russell will talk to students and caregivers about practical steps and thoughts that should take place during an encounter with law enforcement.
Guest speaker: Civil Rights and Defense Attorney Royce Russell is the author of the book, “Cardiac Arrest: A Tactical Guide on How to Handle Unlawful Police Stops.” He is also a former Bronx District Attorney. Read his bio here.
The Beacon PTA will give free copies to the first 50 families (1 per student/family).
