Community participation is essential to allow neighborhoods, community stakeholders, and police to discuss problems and to engage in the problem- solving process. Each Town Hall meeting will be held in a different area of the City, to provide the opportunity for everyone to participate. All meetings are open to the public.
Meeting participants will engage in small-group discussions and workshops centered on concerns in their neighborhood. Feedback in Town Hall meetings will play an important role in future citywide public safety strategies.
“SCPD cares about you and your concerns. This series of town hall meetings are designed to help SCPD better grasp the policing priorities of each community and design solutions with measurable outcomes. These town hall meetings are a great opportunity to influence the future of public safety in your neighborhood. Join us! We want to hear from you.” – Andrew Mills Chief of Police
