What role do local law enforcement agencies have in immigration? Under what circumstances must they work with Federal authorities? Hear from our panel of top law enforcement officers in SLO cities and the County.

Immigration is one of the most pressing issues on the minds of Californians.

• What is the residential status of immigrants and how does the law apply to them?
• When and how can local law enforcement agencies take part in enforcement actions directed at individuals who are immigrants? 

Our expert panel includes top law enforcement leaders in SLO County who direct the policies and actions of the departments responsible for carrying out the law. They will discuss these policies and actions in the context of community needs and how the law applies to immigrants.

The panel includes Jim Munro, Chief of Police, Grover Beach; Ian Parkinson, Sheriff, SLO County; Rick Scott, Chief of Police, San Luis Obispo; and Dan Suttles, Chief of Police, Atascadero and will be moderated by Jim Gardiner, retired SLO Police Chief.

This Zoom event is free to the public, but registration is required. Register here.
