“…as my son told
me (from the
Spiderman movie),
with power comes
responsibility…
I am proud of their
(law enforcement)
commitment to
the everyday challenges their job
brings and their
commitment to the
responsibilities of
their position…”

RI Attorney General

The daylong seminar, “Crimes Against Children”, held on June
7th at Roger Williams University was a grand success. This was,
in part, because the Roger Williams University, School of Justice
Studies has entered into a partnership with the New England
Association of Chiefs of Police. This partnership allows the delivery of quality training to law enforcement throughout the northeast. The results: participation at the seminar from law enforcement was not only from Rhode Island, but also from
Massachusetts, Connecticut and Maine.
The topics presented at the 2nd annual seminar were communication with children, truancy, child exploitation and the Internet.
Also presented was a refresher training on A Child Is Missing
Alert program. Keynote speaker, RI Attorney General Patrick
Lynch spoke about his admiration for law enforcement and their
commitment to their chosen profession.
State Representative Robert Lowe, a longstanding supporter of
A Child Is Missing Alert program, spoke to Sherry Friedlander
during her visit to R.I. “Once again, ACIM program has proven to
be a tool that brings positive results. Thank you.”
