We have heard from many in our community who are unhappy with the lack of answers provided by panelists at the "Unity Forum" held after the exposure of racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic comments made by former Officer Nichols, a veteran of our local police department for 18 years. The upcoming "coffee with a cop" is an opportunity to speak directly with officers, share concerns, and ask questions. If you have unanswered questions that pertain to our police, their policys, next steps etc, please take advantage of this opportunity if you are able.
