Local Police Chiefs to Discuss Community-Police Relations, Dr. Ericka King-Betts CHRC's Executive Director, Moderator

Forum: "To Protect and Serve? Community/Police Relations in Northern Kentucky." This event will be held on Thursday, April 16, 6:30PM at the Kentucky Career Center, 1324 Madison Avenue, Covington, KY. Moderator: Dr. Ericka King-Betts, Executive Director, CHRC.

What does a healthy community-police relationship look like? How healthy are the communities of Northern Kentucky? A panel of experts from across the spectrum will examine these questions in a deep dialogue about where we have been, where we are now, and where we want to go. The panel will consider such ongoing issues as minority profiling; whether local police departments are equipped to handle protests or "organized" disturbances; what measures local police have enacted to build trust in the community. Join us for this important community discussion, made more relevant by the events in Ferguson, Missouri.

Panel for this event: Chief Jeffrey Blackwell, Cincinnati Police; Chief Spike Jones, Covington Police; Robert McCray, retired Newport police officer and community activist and President, Jerome Bowles, Northern Kentucky NAACP.
