Workshop
about inappropriate racial profiling
given by Commander Mark Mann from the Washington State Criminal Justice
Training Center. This workshop is intended for our police department, councilmembers,
school representatives, and FDC members. Initially, they are trying to fill
the event with Ferndale folks, but they are more than happy to extend it
to the larger community if space is available.
This is a great opportunity for all of these different groups to learn together.
