The events in Ferguson, Missouri marked a major shift in how many Americans perceive
police, and began a call for more transparency and accountability in the profession. St.
Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar, who had a major role in restoring order following
Michael Brown’s death, will talk about the lessons learned during the ordeal and how police
leaders can prepare for similar events in their communities. His presentation includes
ensuring officers are given clear instruction on their demeanor during protests, leading from
the front in critical incidents, and trainings’ short comings in dealing with these situations.
He will also talk about the socioeconomic conditions leading to the unrest and cover the role
politicians and media play during highly publicized events.
