At the suggestion of one of our attorneys, Robyn McCoy, MCLC sponsored a series of programs titled “What to Do When Stopped by the Police.” These programs were in response to the tragic and sometimes fatal confrontations between the police and citizens in Michigan and other states. These programs had the full support of the Wayne County Circuit Court. Former Chief Judge Robert Colombo, Executive Court Administrator Zenell Brown and Deputy Court Administrator Richard Smart along with members of the judicial branch, the Detroit Police Department, U.S. Attorney’s Office have participated as speakers and panelists.

The goal of the program is to enable law enforcement officials, prosecutors and defense attorneys to engage with students and the community at large about what is and is not the proper way to engage with police and help protect lives and safeguard everyone’s rights.
