Black jogger detained for fitting suspect description accepts job offer with Sheriff’s office for bias training
Joseph Griffin, a Black man and military veteran, was out jogging in Deltona, Fla. when deputies stopped and detained him for matching the description of the suspect they were looking for. The now registered nurse says his former experience as law enforcement in the military taught him to remain calm and compliant during the 15 minute ordeal. The local sheriff praised how both sides handled the situation and has hired Griffin to talk with his department for implicit bias training next month.
