Camden, Arkansas-Harmony Grove, Smackover, Bearden, and Camden Fairview high school students were invited to attend Respond-I-Bility May 1^st to learn cultural and social etiquette skills when dealing with law enforcement.  The event hosted by Edmond Davis taught students to show respect for every branch of law enforcement and to remember that you are always responsible for how you act no matter how you feel.  Guest speakers such as Ouachita County Sheriff David Norwood gave tips on how to respond when facing an arrest or any encounter with a police officer.  The interactive presentation gave students a chance to ask questions throughout the lecture and to act out the correct way to respond during an arrest.  Door prizes ranging from money to t-shirts were given out to several lucky winners at the end of the presentation.
