Police & Community Forum on Thursday, February 23

Police & Community Forum on Thursday, February 23

The Spokane Police Department invites citizens to a Police & Community Forum on Thursday, February 23 from 6-9 pm at the Salvation Army, 222 E. Indiana Avenue.

The forum will consist of a panel discussion of community members and law enforcement, a question and answer time with the audience, and small group discussion. Different community members serve on the panels each month to bring a variety of perspectives (e.g., Spokane Tribe, Refugee Connections Spokane, Asian Pacific Islander Coalition, OutSpokane representatives). This month, one of our featured panelists is Hussam Al-Khalidy, an interpreter for Spokane Public Schools.

These forums are part of SPD’s efforts to encourage dialogue with community we serve. Everyone is welcome. If you can’t attend this forum, hopefully you can come to another, as we are holding them every month in a variety of locations around town.

Police & Community Forum on Nov. 17

Police & Community Forum on Nov. 17

bridging-the-gapAll are welcome to attend a Police & Community Forum on November 17, at 6 pm, at East Central Community Center, 500 S. Stone St.  Its purpose is to create an opportunity for dialogue between law enforcement and the community and to build trust.

The evening begins with panel discussion. Panels are made up of community members and law enforcement (both Spokane Police and Spokane County Sheriff’s Office) employees. Later, everyone breaks into small groups to discuss. The small-group discussion allows for better dialogue and more personal interactions. Panel members stay afterward to talk to people who have more questions/concerns.

The forums have been very helpful in opening up dialogue. Participant comments were overwhelmingly positive for all the forums, especially since the addition of small-group discussion. At the most recent forum, 82% agreed that the event helped build their trust. 89% of participants agreed that the event gave the community a chance to be heard.

Everyone is welcomed and encouraged to attend. Please feel free to share this information with others.
