Florida RPO Working Group (November)

I hope all are recovering from last month's storms. I know some of you have been harder hit than others, and I hope that life is able to return to some level of normalcy soon!

This month's topic will be a CASE STUDY with time allotted to discuss any other current issues you're facing in working with RPO's.  Join the Florida RPO Working Group.

This is a private working group for those involved in the utilization of Risk Protection Orders in Florida, including law enforcement, municipal attorneys, and members of the judiciary. This group provides an opportunity to discuss struggles and collaboratively work on solutions with others in the field of RPO implementation and execution. Each month will center on a particular challenge around use of RPOs. You will have the opportunity to share and collaborate on solutions with other law enforcement, judiciary, and legal experts with a shared experience in gun violence prevention.

This a professional group, meant as a platform to discuss and improve strategies for the use of RPO’s in Florida. It is by invitation only, and membership is free. Membership will be limited to ensure meetings are valuable and productive. Please use the link below to register.

Meetings will be held SECOND TUESDAY of the month.
