This is the second time in recent months that Clarke was canceled from a speaking engagement to law enforcement after community backlash.
Williams said her organization is not a “hater of police,” as Clarke has indicated, and noted it has supported law enforcement. She is currently a member of Utah’s Peace Officer Standards and Training Council, which certifies and sets training standards for law enforcement and takes disciplinary action against officers. Williams also has worked with Utah legislators to pass police reform bills.
“We’ve continued to work with law enforcement to bring the community and law enforcement together, and not dividing us,” she said. “I felt that having David Clarke speak here would really set our working efforts back.” Neither Cache County Sheriff Chad Jensen, president of the Utah Sheriffs Association, nor Scott Burns, its executive director, responded to a request for comment Monday, or to previous requests for comment on the decision to schedule Clarke’s appearance.
about his upcoming appearance, Clarke wrote on Facebook: “As the liberal media tries to label people as extremists, controversial, polarizing and anything that tries to silence your voice … just remember, there’s a reason behind it! Your voice matters! NEVER be silenced. The more they try, the more you should speak.”
