Call to Action – Meeting in Support of Public Safety & Justice

Community meeting open to everyone to move forward with plans to improve relations with police. Food served and childcare provided.

During the meeting information will be shared about initiatives already underway, working groups will be defined, and work will begin on planning action steps to move our community toward greater policing equity.

The work done at the December 2014 meeting and the DOJ trainings generated ideas that have been broken down and categorized into focus groups.

Those groups are: Accountability Task Force, Building Relationships, Training and Education, Policy, Crisis Liaison Group, Media, Paradigm Shifts, and Storytelling. More groups may be added as desired by community members. During the meeting the community will break into the focus groups to discuss action steps and organize around areas of interest.
