John Jay College Of Criminal Justice | The City University of New York

   

Loretta Lynch, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York and President Obama’s pick for U.S. Attorney General, delivered important keynote addresses at two signature John Jay College events. In 2013, Ms. Lynch was the keynote speaker at the Eighth Annual Harry Frank Guggenheim Symposium on Crime in America. In her speech, she discussed the many challenging criminal justice issues of the day focusing on an anti-violence strategy that emphasizes prevention, prosecution and reentry. In addition, Ms. Lynch served as the guest speaker at the 2012 Lloyd George Sealy Lecture co-sponsored by the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) and John Jay. The annual lecture is named in memory of Lloyd George Sealy, a distinguished member of the John Jay College faculty, who was the first African-American Assistant Chief Inspector and Commander of the Brooklyn North Patrol Service Area for the New York City Police Department.
