Description

Kansas City, Missouri’s Board of Police Commissioners is searching for a new Chief of Police.

The Kansas City Public Safety Coalition, a group of business, civic, interfaith, and community organizations is hosting a series of Community Listening Sessions across Kansas City, Missouri in the next few weeks. The goal of these sessions is to determine the qualities the community would like to see in the next police chief, and to strengthen community trust between Kansas City residents and the police department. Outcomes of these listening sessions will be combined with data and feedback from an online survey, to be presented to the Board of Police Commissioners in November.

The more voices that are heard in the selection of the new Chief, the stronger our City can be. KCMO residents and those who work in KCMO are welcome to attend.
