Welcome back to this next season of our Saybrook Insights Podcast, a proud production of Saybrook University. My name is Nathan Long, President of the university and host of this podcast. Saybrook is an online, non-profit, regionally accredited university located in Pasadena, California. I want to point out that we’re celebrating our 50th year this year and we couldn’t be prouder of the amazing students, faculty and alumni that have contributed to our great successes these many decades. This podcast along with the many events planned this year are in honor of this amazing community! We hope you’ll find them as satisfying to listen to as we’ve found creating and producing them. 

Episode Overview: Today’s segment features the first two panel discussions from the conference including UN experts and community members speaking about their experiences of being policed. Future segments will feature policing agencies and organizations discussing their experiences and work in the field. You can find links to the items discussed in the show notes.
