INC NEWS - DPD Command Staff Encourages Officers to Attend Neighborhood Meetings

[TheOcean1 at aol.com]

Thanks for the fast reply Cpl Bond! 
 
Assume you meant for your reply to reach the PAC2 List, and not just  to me.

This is great news! 
I'm also CCing the Convention and Visitor's Bureau, who've done an amazing  
job working with InterNeighborhood Council, linking to the individual  
neighborhoods. An example:
_http://www.durham-nc.com/newcomers/neighborhoods.php_ 
(http://www.durham-nc.com/newcomers/neighborhoods.php) 
 
On that list you'll find my neighborhood, Duke Park, and a link to our  great 
website:
_http://www.rtpnet.org/dukepark/index.html_ 
(http://www.rtpnet.org/dukepark/index.html) 
 
At Duke Park's website it shows when the neighborhood association meets.  
This would be one way for officers to find out when/where such meetings  
occur.

Good  Afternoon,

This is city wide.  Officers are encourage to  attend
community meetings in the districts where tehy work. 
The only  problem is getting notification of the
meetings.  We are able to see  what is posted on the
list serve for the Pac 2 meetings but not all of  the
other ones are posted. (ex. HOA meetings) 

If the officers are  working on a day and time that a
meeting is being held then they are  encouraged to
attend, provided call volume permits.
