SPEAKER: BILL BRATTON

THE PROFESSION: a Memoir of Community, Race, and the Arc of Policing in America

Bill Bratton will discuss his best-selling memoir and insights from an extraordinary career -- top cop in Boston, L.A. and New York City (twice), with a record of dramatic crime reduction, practical moderation, and a knack for charming across hostile fences. Hear his thoughts on new challenges to law and order: increased social and political polarization, growing concern over racial inequality and injustice, implicit prejudice, terrorism home-grown and imported, the greater amplifying and distorting role of media – especially social media. Plus crime in New York under its first ex-cop mayor. Come and bring guests.

ENTERTAINER: KT SULLIVAN

KT SULLIVAN is the former president of The Dutch Treat Club, current artistic director of The Mabel Mercer Foundation, and she'll be making her London debut as a singing pianist  in July at The Pheasantry in London. She will be previewing some of that material for her fellow Dutch Treaters.
