Chief's Community Forums
Community forums are established to open the lines of communication
between residents of Mesa and the Police Department, in order to focus on
public safety issues and partner with community leaders and stakeholders in
developing solutions to multi-faceted community concerns. The forums are
critical to the Police Department and its mission. Nine forums are currently
established.
- African American
- Business
- Clergy
- Disabilities
- Hispanic
- Human Rights
- Native American
- Senior
- Youth
Each forum has their own meeting schedule. There are
training and educational opportunities provided to forum members
in the months we do not have regularly scheduled meetings. To
join a forum or for more information on the next meeting for the
forum you are interested in attending, please call 480-644-2283.
The Mission of the Community Forums is to create
relationships between the Mesa Police Department and the
community, to provide effective avenues of communication for
community members, and to address cultural and quality of life
issues that transcent ethnic, cultural, religious and geographic
barriers to increase the quality of life for all citizens.
