A new advisory panel comprised of Columbus community members aims to bridge the gap between law enforcement and residents, fostering trust and transparency in light of past tensions.
A small group of Columbus community members could soon have a real impact on the future of the city's police department .
Members of the chief's new advisory panel hope to break down some of those walls. This effort is not only about improving relations with police, but making neighborhoods safer as well. “Our law enforcement officers are called to protect and serve the community. That is their job, hat is there role, that is their assignment. Without the community there is no need for them,” said Young.
“From a community standpoint, a lot of times we’re left out of the loop and we don’t really understand the processes that it takes to be able to get certain information out to the public,” Cox said.
