Law Enforcement Summit
Scoop USA Newspaper|February 21, 2023
On Friday, February 10th a one of a kind summit took place in the City of Chester.
Lavender-Sams
Law Enforcement Summit

The Pennsylvania DMC Youth/Law Enforcement Corporation, Chester Upland School District (CUSD), Delaware County District Attorney’s Office, Mayor Thaddeus Kirkland, and Councilwoman Elizabeth Williams presented a forum hosted by the Boys and Girls Club of Chester for youth and law enforcement to come together and engage in an open- honest dialogue and work toward bridging the gap between the two.

In recent years, there have been several cases of fatalities of young African Americans whose lives were cut short at the hands of police officers sworn to protect and serve. Young people feel increasingly at odds with law enforcement, and a chief complaint is the perceived inability of law enforcement to work at understanding them. This along with the implicit biases that youth perceive law enforcement agencies bring to the job of policing, is what exactly made this first-of-its-kind forum a teaching moment, for sure.

Joe Biden's campaign could use some star power. Paging Taylor Swift?

President Joe Biden’s team looks to Taylor Swift for a touchdown. Considering the obvious ability that pop star Taylor Swift and her NFL star boyfriend, Travis Kelce, have shown for stealing the limelight, it comes as little surprise that, without even trying, they have generated their own conspiracy theory, too.
