A community dialogue will be hosted by the Marietta Police Department on June 5.
“Procedural Justice for Communities: A Dialogue to Enhance Communications” will be open to Marietta residents to meet with the city’s police officers, according to a statement from Marietta Police Public Information Officer Chuck McPhilamy.
For more than a year, the Marietta Police Department has been using the Community Oriented Policing Services program to train Procedural Justice to the city’s officers and command staff.
This training has centered around four pillars of Procedural Justice: fairness, impartiality, giving a voice and transparency.
The next stage of implementing the curriculum is for members of the police staff to meet with community members.
“We want to ensure citizens’ voices are heard and they receive the transparent policing they deserve,” McPhilamy said.
With skilled facilitators, the free three-hour workshop will be 6 to 9 p.m. June 5 in the Marietta High School Seminar Room, 1171 Whitlock Ave. SW, Marietta.
