BIGHEAD ON THE BLOCK

BIGHEAD ON THE BLOCK

Big Head on the Block is based on real experiences in Law Enforcement over my 32-year career. As a retired Lieutenant from Baton Rouge City Police and former small-town Chief of Police, I will go in depth into cases I have personally worked to give you a unique perspective as well as my opinions in these cases. I will have guest speakers that are former Cops, gang members and civilians whose families were impacted by crime. I will offer insight on safety and bring in consultants that are subject matter experts. You will hear details from actual crimes in Baton Rouge, Louisiana as well as nationally occurring events. We do this through conversation, critical thinking and in-depth discussions.
