ATLANTA – Penfield College of Mercer University will host the monthly business luncheon for Metropol on Feb. 7 on the Cecil B. Day Graduate and Profession Campus in Atlanta.
Atlanta Metropol Inc. is incorporated for the purpose of bringing together representatives of professional law enforcement and private security for their mutual benefit. Members include individuals serving in leadership positions at local, state and federal law enforcement agencies within the greater metropolitan Atlanta area, as well as leaders in corporate security operations and other professional organizations within the area.
“We take pride in the fact that we work hand-in-hand with the leadership teams of so many law enforcement agencies in the greater Atlanta area,” said Dr. Stephen E. Ruegger, associate professor of criminal justice and public safety leadership, who has represented Mercer as a member of Metropol since 2013. “We are honored to once again host such an important event on our campus.”
