The Lawrenceville Police Department will host its second ‘Bridge the Gap’ Forum, an event to establish communications with citizens, strengthen community and police relations and discuss the roles, rights, and responsibilities of both parties to assist with this important project. The forum will begin at 7 p.m. Jan. 4 at the Lawrenceville Police Department. Members of the public are invited and encouraged to attend.
