Alpha Tau Supports Delta Academy Delta GEMS with Empowering Discussion on Law Enforcement Encounters

Brother Antonio Bostic engages Delta Academy Delta GEMS participants in a discussion on safety and navigating encounters with law enforcement

On December 7, 2025, Brother Antonio Bostic, a law enforcement officer and member of the Alpha Tau Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., spoke with participants of Delta Academy Delta GEMS during an in depth and impactful discussion focused on navigating and surviving encounters with law enforcement. The session created a safe and engaging space for open dialogue, education, and thoughtful conversation.

Drawing from his professional experience in policing, Brother Bostic provided practical guidance on situational awareness, effective communication, and personal safety during interactions with law enforcement officers. He shared insight into what officers are trained to do, how decisions are made in high pressure moments, and how individuals can conduct themselves in ways that prioritize safety for everyone involved. The conversation also emphasized the importance of remaining calm, respectful, and informed, while understanding one’s rights and responsibilities.

Participants were encouraged to ask questions and engage in meaningful discussion, allowing for greater understanding and trust between law enforcement and the community. Brother Bostic’s perspective as both a public servant and community advocate helped bridge gaps and address misconceptions.

“Education and awareness are key to keeping everyone safe,” said Brother Antonio Bostic. “When young women understand how to communicate, stay calm, and know what to expect during an encounter with law enforcement, it can make a critical difference in the outcome.”

The session aligned closely with the mission of Delta Academy Delta GEMS to empower and prepare young women for success and safety in the real world. Brother Bostic’s willingness to share his knowledge and experience reflects the Alpha Tau Chapter’s continued commitment to mentorship, youth development, and fostering informed, constructive conversations that have a lasting impact.
