On October 19, 2018, Morris County Prosecutor's Office Detective Supervisor Patrick LaGuerre joined Kim Nelson-Edwards of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) to provide the Safe Stop program to the students at Morristown High School. This program was provided for students from all four grade levels of Morristown High School.
Safe Stop is a program created by the New Jersey Attorney General's Office, which aims to ensure that every traffic stop in New Jersey ends safely for all involved parties. The presentation educated the students on what to do and what not to do during a traffic stop. The Morris County Prosecutor's Office and NOBLE aim to continue working with the community to develop strong relationships between the Morris County community and local law enforcement. The Morris County Prosecutor's Office will continue to hold these community outreach programs with local schools to ensure all students are provided with the necessary information to live safe lives.
Morris County Prosecutor Fredric Knapp said, The value of providing our local youth with the Safe Stop program cannot be undervalued. This program provides the Morris County community with the information they need to ensure encounters with local law enforcement are safe for all parties involved.
