Retiring, But Not Shy About Answering Our Questions!
Chief Brian Seastone of the University of Arizona Police Department is retiring in August from his 41 year law enforcement career.
We’re delighted he’s agreed to chat with us at our July 8th Zoom meeting, before he moves into retirement and new adventures. His topic is “To Protect and To Serve,” and he’ll share stories from that 41 year career.
Chief Seastone visited with us in 2017, focusing on the challenges of law enforcement on campus. Let’s welcome him back with congratulations on his retirement and lots of questions!
