Teen Takeovers: Community Police Relations Workshop

Executive Director Dr. Dana Alexander-Porter served as a guest panelist at Teen Takeovers: Understanding the Risks, Making Safe Choices, and Building Safer Communities, a community police relations workshop hosted by the Urban League of Broward County at the Lauderhill Boys & Girls Club.
