Community-Police Relations Forums Breathe Life into the Voice of the Community!

Orange mound community police pictureThe Community-Police Relations project is a groundbreaking partnership between citizens and law enforcement officers that is challenging both groups to overcome their differences and distrust to work together on the deepest problems of our community.

The forums give you the opportunity to share your story and vision for Community-Police Relations, and will be used to develop and implement recommendations toward positive outcomes through dialogue.

Be a part of the conversation as the community sets the vision of how we will deal with crime and violence in our city.

Read about the July 27th CPR forum in Frayser here.

What Happens at the CPR Forum?

Under the guiding principle to “Keep it Here, Keep it Real, and Keep it Safe,” forum participants are asked four central questions:

  1. What is your vision of community and police relations?
  2. What are the barriers preventing you from reaching your vision?
  3. What are the solutions to reach your vision of community-police relations?
  4. How do you reach your solutions to accomplish your vision? .

CPR forums use small group dialogues and other methods, such as Playback theatre, in which real stories are shared and played out by actors on the spot..
