Philadelphia Police Inspector D. F. Pace, who served in the force for more than two decades, will be speaking at the Rotary Club of Chestnut Hill breakfast program on February 28, 7:30 am, Center on the Hill, 8855 Germantown Avenue, Presbyterian Church of Chestnut Hill. The public is invited to attend the meeting which will include a short question and answer session.
Inspector Pace will present: “Crime in the City,” which will focus on violent crime and the challenges facing policing in Philadelphia.
Pace oversees Homicides and Non-fatal Shootings, Special Victims Unit, Major Crimes Unit and an FBI Task Force for the Police Department. He is also a Rotary Peace Fellow and graduate of the Rotary Peace and Conflict Studies Fellowship, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand.
Pace was chosen from among thousands of Peace Fellow applicants. As an attorney and Police Inspector in the nation's fourth largest police department, Inspector Pace focuses on balancing constitutional protections and civil rights with public safety.
In addition to his patrol experience, Pace has also held positions in the Law Department, as Judge Advocate, Police Academy Instructor, Public Information Officer and Commanding Officer of the Court Evidence Unit. He considered his involvement in the Rotary Peace Fellow Certificate Program to be “on a par with that at the FBI National Academy,” and the training gave him skills and insights that has influenced and been applied throughout his career in law enforcement.
Pace is no stranger to the lectern. A veteran adjunct professor, he has taught and continues to teach graduate and undergraduate courses at several colleges and universities.
