ORGANIZED CRIME — A COMMUNITY RESPONSE

 

Ralph Salerno, an internationally recognized expert on underworld activities,
will be the featured speaker in a Douglas College sponsored program designed
to alert the public to the dangers of organized crime. The program will be

jointly sponsored by the College and the Department of the Attorney General.

Three sessions have been scheduled for November 13, 14, 15, 1975.

Mr. Salerno will first meet the general public in an open meeting to be held
at 8:00 P.M. in the Royal Towers Hotel, New Westminster, Thursday November 13.

The following evening Mr. Salerno will address an audience of policement who
have been involved in the Douglas College criminology programs.

On Saturday November 15, Salerno will preside over a workshop of community
leaders, elected officials and members of police boards and justice councils
