Join us for a very special local author event! Former Branford police officer and FBI agent Greg Dillon shares his whistleblower story in The Thin Blue Lie: An Honest Cop vs. The FBI, to show just what happens when one tries to report FBI misconduct.
When Greg Dillon is assigned to a federal fugitive task force in Connecticut, he inadvertently uncovers a pattern of misconduct and falsified affidavits. After reporting his concerns to the politically connected but incompetent chief state’s attorney, the whistleblower finds himself a target of reprisal. Investigated, transferred, demoted, and threatened, Dillon hires an attorney, and—with the assistance of legendary whistleblower Frank Serpico—takes on both the state of Connecticut and the Department of Justice in federal court, resulting in an explosive verdict and a significant court ruling.
Registration is required to attend this IN PERSON event.
