From the City of Greensboro:

Posted 1/30/2020

The Greensboro Police Department is hosting eight community meetings to discuss how police and residents can make communities safer. As part of Chief Brian James’ effort to connect with, and be inclusive of community ideas, senior leaders with the Greensboro Police Department will be present to hear directly from community members.

At the meetings, residents will meet the commanding officers who serve their community, and have a chance to discuss public safety issues in their neighborhoods. Community members in attendance will also be given the opportunity to ask questions and voice their concerns about safety in an effort to spark ideas on how police and residents can address those issues.

Greensboro residents and business owners are encouraged to attend any of the meetings, and share their thoughts on public safety. Each meeting will begin at 6:30 pm and are expected to end by 8 pm.
