Behind the Scene: Community Safety Update

Join us for a unique event where we go beyond the headlines and explore the unseen aspects of community safety, law enforcement and significant trends. Our distinguished panel of speakers includes our area sheriffs and chiefs of police. These seasoned leaders and experienced law enforcement officers know every facet of their departments, our communities, regional trends, new strategies, significant challenges and impending threats. 

This is not your typical safety briefing – it is an opportunity to go “behind the scenes” with our top leaders to hear firsthand accounts of what’s happening in our communities and the efforts behind keeping FMWF safe. 

Topics of discussion include: 

• Crime rates and trends in the metro area
• Critical incidents and events
• Challenges and opportunities with staffing
• Community sentiment toward law enforcement 
• Mutual aid and how our communities work together
• Community engagement opportunities and support
• Mental health

As our business community strives each day to make the FMWF region the most vibrant, competitive and attractive region it can be, it is critical that our business community is at the table for this discussion. Community safety, and perceived safety, play a massive role in the attraction and retention of businesses, people and opportunities in our area. Join us to not only stay in the know, but to be a part of building a bright future. 

Please be aware that sensitive topics may be discussed.
