The Ethical Police Officer: The Struggle for Equity and Justice in American Law Enforcement

Eric Fair, Author

Eric has previously served as a police officer with the Bethlehem, PA Police Department, as an Arabic linguist in the U.S. Army and as an interrogator for a private military contractor. His 2012 essay “Consequence,” which was published first in Ploughshares and Harper’s Magazine, tells the story of his experience in Iraq in 2004, and is now a book of the same title. His op-eds on interrogation have also been published in The Washington Post and The New York Times. Eric will be with us on July 24 (his second time at the WEE Forum) to lead us in a discussion assessing the current state of American policing, it’s failing of Black and Brown communities and how it must change for the better.
