Brian Maxey to Serve on Public Safety Panel at Leading Without a Badge Summit

On Mar. 16, Baker Sterchi attorney Brian Maxey will serve as a panelist at the Second Annual Leading Without a Badge Summit being held in Charlottesville, Virginia. The session, “Leading Without a Badge: The Evolving Role of Professional Staff in Public Safety,” will examine how professional staff are transforming public safety through innovative leadership, cross-disciplinary expertise and a reimagining of what it means to serve without a badge.

With more than two decades of public-sector experience as a litigator, policing executive, consultant and member of federal monitoring teams, Maxey focuses on risk management planning, crisis response and strategic litigation for public-sector clients. He has extensive experience serving as lead counsel in Section 1983 matters and previously held executive leadership roles overseeing policy, training, investigations and administrative operations for a major city police department.

Maxey is active in several public-sector organizations, including the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the Police Executive Research Forum, and serves on the National Association of Professional Staff in Public Safety Board of Advisors. He earned his law degree from Fordham University School of Law and an M.P.A. from the New York University Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. He is licensed to practice in Washington, California and New York, and before the Supreme Court of the United States.

The summit highlights the role of non-sworn leaders in law enforcement and provides a forum to exchange best practices, navigate organizational culture and strengthen leadership within public safety agencies.
