MSUM's Oceanarium received a grant last year that allowed them to expand and open a community engagement center to provide visitors with an even more immersive experience.
Entitled "Police Violence and the Puzzle of Compliance," MSUM professor Joel Powell Dahlquist will speak on the issue. Dahlquist has been researching police-public interactions since he joined MSUM in 1987.
Dahlquist has coordinated police science education since arriving at MSUM and, in the process, has taught and mentored a significant number of active-duty law enforcement officers in the Fargo-Moorhead region and many around the nation. He is a former member of the Minnesota Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training.
