SUMMARY:May Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Our featured speaker at the May luncheon is Significant Sig Ross Swope\, MARYLAND 1972. \nBrother Swope grew up in the world of law enforcement. The son of a cop\, he joined the Washington\, DC\, police force soon after he graduated from the University of Maryland in 1972. \nOver the next 43 years\, he rose through the ranks\, ultimately becoming deputy chief of the DC Metropolitan Police Department and then the chief of police of the US Supreme Court. \nHis many responsibilities included planning\, administration\, management\, investigations\, budgeting\, and human relations\, with an emphasis on leadership. A highly effective law enforcement manager and forward thinker\, he pursued continuing education and applied it to every department he served. \nBrother Swope has been published locally\, nationally\, and internationally on such topics as community policing\, problem-oriented policing\, leadership issues\, and effective policing strategies.  Generally recognized as the creator and author of the seminal work on police ethics\, he has been widely cited in major publications on that subject. \nHe recently completed his book Ethics-Based Policing: Solving the Use of Excessive Force. In it\, he details his proven approach to improving law enforcement and restoring an environment of trust\, confidence\, and cooperation between citizens and police officers. \nAlso an avid outdoorsman and craftsman\, Ross has had his writing and photography featured in adventure magazines. He currently lives in Gambrills\, Maryland. \nIn addition to his numerous awards and commendations\, Ross holds three master’s degrees—applied behavioral science; justice\, law\, and society; and applied criminology. When he retired from in the DC Metropolitan Police Department to begin the next chapter of his career\, he was the most highly decorated and educated police official on that force. \nBrother Swope received his Significant Sig Award in 2013. \nLearn more about Brother Swope and his new book\, Ethics-Based Policing: Solving the Use of Excessive Force. \nPlease contact info@dcsigmachi.org if you have any issues purchasing a luncheon ticket.
