"The Paradox of Being a Black Police Officer"

The Paradox of Being a Black Police Officer will be presented by Corey Saffold, a former law enforcement professional in Madison, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 24, in the community room at the Niederkorn Library, 316 W. Grand Ave., Port Washington. Saffold will discuss his experiences as a Black policeman in the wake of multiple, highly publicized killings of unarmed Black Americans by police officers and the paradox of being a Black officer during a time when police are viewed as an enemy and are often not trusted, especially among the Black community. He will offer his strategy for engaging the community at large around these issues that have also affected him personally and relay his personal experiences with law enforcement and how these experiences have helped shape his approach to upholding the law throughout the city. A question-and-answer time will be part of the event.
