More community conversations scheduled
Tuesday, December 15, 2020 by Tai Moses
Want to participate in the citywide effort known as “reimagining public safety”? These community meetings have been so popular that the initiative has scheduled four new community conversations in January for those who want to share their ideas for policing reform. The meetings are all virtual, of course, held on Zoom. During the meetings, the facilitator poses a series of real-life policing scenarios and then asks attendees how the situations should ideally be handled. Attendees discuss their thoughts and opinions and may then record them in an online survey. The feedback “will be shared with city leaders to help guide their decisions on public safety priorities and policies.” RSVP here for any of the following meetings:
- District 1: Jan. 7, 5-7 p.m.
- District 3: Jan. 13, 5:30 -7:30 p.m.
- Citywide session 1: Jan. 20, 5:30-7:30 p.m.
- Citywide session 2: Jan. 28, 5:30- 7:30 p.m.
