Effingham Chief to Discuss the Aftermath of Ferguson

Chief Fuesting, a proponent of community policing, will talk about his experience as captain and commander of the St. Louis County Police Department during the turbulent summer of 2014 after the Michael Brown shooting and protests that followed.
