Law Enforcement Appreciation Dinner 2015
In early December 2015, Peace Islands Institute held its Law Enforcement Appreciation Dinner in Morristown. The program opened with a moment of silence for the victims of the December 2 attack in San Bernardino, California.
Ercan Tozan, Director of Peace Islands Institute, welcomed the guests and thanked them for their service to the community. Michael E. Campion, Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, spoke about how PII’s mission aligns with the civil rights work of the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Montclair State University Police Chief Paul M. Cell urged community members and law enforcement to work together to prevent hatred and violence.
