Community-Oriented Policing Open Forum & Author Panel
From the event description:
Join the Cleveland Community Police Commission (CPC) in candid conversations on police accountability in this culminating event to the 'Talking a Stance' summer book club. As a springboard for conversation, we will use the themes covered in Jewell Parker Rhodes' story 'Ghost Boys' (including racism, gun violence and biased policing) to discuss how these issues are prevalent in neighborhoods across the nation — including our own. This event also seeks to bring the conversation surrounding police accountability closer to home by providing a venue for Cleveland residents to voice their concerns and ask reform-related questions to the CPC and a panel of local authors that covered similar topics. Information about how citizens can take an active role in the Cleveland Police reform process as described in the Consent Decree through individual actions and with the CPC will also be available.
When: Thursday, Aug. 29, 7-9 p.m.
Where: Cleveland Public Library - Memorial-Nottingham Branch, 17109 Lakeshore Blvd.
Admission: Free
