Looking to bridge the gap between citizens in need and the services available to support them, the Police Accountability Commission, in collaboration with the Social Services Commission, is hosting a community event aimed at connecting Davis residents with local resources. Dubbed "Who You Gonna Call?" the gathering will take place at the Veterans Memorial Theatre on Wednesday, February 12, offering a platform for community members to engage with providers from 7 - 8:30 p.m.
"Who You Gonna Call?" opens with a presentation detailing the key community resources available within the city, featuring entities such as NAMI Yolo, Davis Community Meals and Housing, and Davis Streets Team among others. After the initial briefing, there will be a session devoted to interactions between attendees and community partners, providing an opportunity for questions, or to delve deeper into the specifics of the services provided. There will also, be an educational segment focused on the 9-1-1 process and the methods in which dispatchers prioritize calls.
The City of Davis announcement detailed that not only will this event shed light on the resources before a crisis strikes but it is also tailored for those actively searching for social services. Organizers emphasize the importance of this preemptive approach, ensuring that individuals know where to turn and who to call when in need, rather than scrambling in moments of crisis.
This proactive initiative by the Police Accountability and Social Services Commissions reflects an ongoing commitment to community welfare and safety. The evening concludes with a recap or summary, a move intended to cement the information shared throughout the event into the minds of participants. Residents of Davis and the surrounding areas are encouraged to attend, educate themselves, and spread the word about this potentially life-saving resource fair.
