John Seto, was the speaker at the Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North's Luncheon today, August 10, 2017. John Seto is the former Ann Arbor Police Chief and the current Director of Housing Security for the University of Michigan Division of Public Safety and Security.
John, talked about the law and ethics in making decisions for Police Officers.
He talked about the issue a few years back, when homeless individuals put up tents in city park and lived there. He had a ethical issue. It was not right to just kick them out, but the city law said they could not stay there. The police put letters out saying they need to leave in 48 hours and some support to where to go. Fortunately almost all left and took the support and others got other housing.
On all ethical issues, in policing he said, "the police, has to follow the Federal Laws." If it is a Federal Law like the not being able to live in city park he has to follow it, even if it is not ethical to kick them out with no where to go.
Another topic he described, is the body camera that Police wear today. It is an issue of privacy. The reason to use body camera is for the increase officer safety and reduce department liability with decreased use of force incidents and reduced false complaints by citizens.
John Seto, is getting ready for all of the students from University of Michigan, to return to school and start living in the dorms.
