Sigma Justice Alliance Bootcamp

March 8, 2025, By PBSWest.org

Sigma Justice Alliance Boot Camp is a collaborative effort between the Center of Policing Equity and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Incorporated aiming to bring impactful leadership to the communities that we serve by training our brothers on public safety, education, and social justice while empowering them to lead transformational change in their communities. It will also enable Community Engagement (CE) to activate individuals who are embedded in their communities, have lived experiences, and are directly impacted by these issues to drive this work forward.
