The Workshop

Innovating Comprehensive Approaches to Community Engagement Partnerships and Success : Thursday, October 05, 2023 01:30P

Positive policing is most often rooted in the precepts of community policing. However, that scope of engagement can be too readily constricted by the concept of talk without the walk. Impactful community engagement is not and should not be linear, Rather, it requires an investment model that is embedded from top down. This workshop will explore police and community partnerships that have changed the landscape of what social impact policing can be at its best.
