Gwinnett government and law enforcement officials from the Gwinnett County Police Department and the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office are partnering with the Gwinnett County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. to host a teen forum 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 25 at the Rhodes Jordan Park Community Center, 100 E. Crogan St. in Lawrenceville.
The teen forum, open to 11-18 year olds is designed to help bridge the communication gap between youth and local police. The interactive forum will familiarize students with officers as real people, reasons for police stops, appropriate and inappropriate behavior during police stops, citizens’ rights, filing complaints, and students’ responsibility and accountability during police contact. Participants will watch a live police pull-over simulation.
