Southern States PBA
2019 Attorney Seminar
Aug 29, 2019
Over 20 PBA attorneys from Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas spent the day with SSPBA staff on August 2nd at the annual SSPBA Legal Training Seminar in Southaven, MS. SSPBA legal staff led the agenda, which covered such topics as "Basics of Responding to a Critical Incident" and "Criminal Investigations of Officers." PBA attorney--and former deputy with Lauderdale S.O.--Francis Springer from Madison, MS, joined the SSPBA staff and presented "A View from the Officer's Perspective." There was a great deal of audience participation as the experienced group of PBA attorneys discussed topics of interest regarding the representation of law enforcement officers.
The SSPBA Legal Department extends our most sincere thanks to those attorneys who were able to attend the seminar as well as to the 700+ attorneys currently serving on our attorney panel.
