Commission votes to add fall 'Know Your Rights' forum for youth, seeks judicial and law-enforcement panel
Summary
Commission approved scheduling a 'Know Your Rights' forum in the fall aimed at youth; commissioners recommended a panel including a judge, prosecutor, public defender and police representative and assigned a task group to set a date.
The commission voted to schedule a 'Know Your Rights' forum aimed at youth in the fall, directing a task group to assemble a panel of legal and law-enforcement representatives to speak with students about interactions with police and their rights.
Commissioners suggested that Judge Brandon McLean, a prosecutor's office representative and a defense attorney could participate to provide balanced legal perspectives. One commissioner said the forum could be paired with other youth-focused events in the fall; another commissioner offered to lead coordination if the event is scheduled for October.
The motion to add the forum to the calendar was seconded and approved on the record. Staff and volunteers will work with the police department and local schools to set a date and identify speakers and a location.
