Derrick Dotson is a long-time public servant with more than twenty years of experience in both law enforcement and private security. Following the deaths of multiple Black Americans in 2020, Derrick felt there was a lack of guidance from the media as well as established and informed leaders in response to fatalities involving police.

Derrick began sharing his career knowledge with companies and private citizens as he believes if people understood more about policing and use of force, interactions with police would be more productive and uneventful. On the subject of police reform, this knowledge combined with the diversity of thinking from the community can spark effective changes for the future of law enforcement and policing.

As a Black man who has the experience of being a law enforcement use of force instructor teaching similar skills which have killed many Black Americans, including a loved one, Derrick presents a unique dual perspective. He has also been personally engaged by police in dozens of traffic stops and has been the subject of stop and frisk. The dynamics of these experiences combined with his expertise make for an intriguing yet educational perspective.
