Alumnus to Speak on Police and Community Relations in NYC
Princeton, N.J. -- Frederick Patrick MPA ’90, executive director of the Mayor’s Police/Community Relations Task Force and deputy criminal justice coordinator for the City of New York, will give a lecture entitled "New York City Mayor’s Police/Community Relations Task Force: Balancing Opposing Views to Achieve Politically Viable Outcomes" at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs on Tuesday, April 7, at 4:30 p.m., in Robertson Hall, Bowl 1.
A graduate of the Woodrow Wilson School’s Master of Public Affairs program, Patrick, as director of the mayor’s task force, facilitates discussions between police officers and members of the communities they serve. Patrick also advises and assists the criminal justice coordinator in developing and implementing city policies, legislation, and strategies in the fields of public safety and criminal justice. He is an adjunct professor in the Department of Law, Police Science, and Criminal Justice Administration at CUNY’s John Jay College of Criminal Justice and is a consultant to the National Institute of Justice of the U.S. Department of Justice.
Previously, Patrick was the director of resource development for New York City’s Department of Correction (1990-97). He also served as the department’s assistant commissioner, responsible for training and organizational development (1992-94). Before joining the department, Patrick was the program coordinator and life skills counselor for the Banana Kelly Community Development Corporation, a pilot program for 120 at-risk youth in the Bronx.
Patrick’s lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
