Oak Park residents are invited to join new Police Chief Anthony Ambrose as he discusses his community-oriented approach to policing in Council Chamber of Village Hall, 123 Madison St.
The event, which is sponsored by the Community Relations Commission, will focus on four main topics:
• Chief Ambrose’s vision of policing
• What to do if stopped by the police
• Police training process and certifications
• Positive community collaboration
Cedric Melton, Community Relations Director at the Village of Oak Park, will moderate the discussion, which comes in the wake of a series of police shootings across the United States that have in some cases strained relations between police departments and members of the public. An opportunity for questions and answers with the audience will be held at the end of the discussion.
