Division of Police Town Meeting
As part of its Community Policing efforts, the Division of Police conducts Town Meetings. These meetings offer a unique opportunity for police administrators to learn more about the needs of the community and for citizens to learn more about their police service. The meetings follow a public forum format to provide open communications between citizen's and the Division of Police. This communication is imperative for Community Policing to be effective.
The Meetings are held in each of the five zones within the city. They are attended by Chief James G. Jackson, and include the Division's Deputy Chiefs, Commanders, and the Patrol Lieutenants, Sergeants, and Community Liaison Officers which are assigned to the zone in which the meeting is held. Also invited are all Blockwatch Captains and persons from the various neighborhood associations which are represented in that zone.
These Town Meetings provide an excellent opportunity for citizen's to voice concerns and ask questions about crime and policing within their neighborhoods. For more information about the next Police Town Meeting, refer back to this web site, or contact the Division of Police Public Information Officer at 645-4593.
