Gwinnett County Police Officers Visit National Center for Civil and Human Rights Museum

Officers from the Gwinnett County Police Department visited the National Center for Civil and Human Rights Museum as part of their mentorship program. In 2022, Chief of Police James D. McClure established the mentorship program to allow experienced officers to mentor and support future department leaders. The initiative aims to provide guidance, share knowledge, and help mentees navigate career challenges.

West Precinct Major Jordan Griffin coordinated the museum visit for mentors and their mentees. Major Griffin highlighted the importance of the visit, noting, “This was an opportunity for our officers to see civil and human rights issues through the eyes of the community that we serve. We discussed the recency of the events of the Civil Rights Movement and ongoing human rights issues today. With the international diversity of Gwinnett County, it is important to understand that these global issues affect people right here in our community.”
