Diversity project holds panel discussion
ASTORIA — The Lower
Columbia Diversity Project
invites the public to Cops
and Community: A Local
Perspective from 7 to 9 p.m.
Thursday, Oct. 15 at the Judge
Boyington Building, located
at 857 Commercial St.
This panel discussion of
community policing will in-
clude representatives from
the police departments of As-
toria, Cannon Beach, Gear-
hart, Seaside and Warrenton.
The presentation is free, and
everyone is welcome.
Community policing is
an essential part of the life
of our cities. Local police
of¿cers aren¶t just enforcers
of the law and protectors of
the peace. They are part of a
foundation of service that al-
lows cities to prosper and cit-
izens to enjoy quality of life.
Police work has never
been an easy job, and the
challenges of homelessness,
mental illness, drug and al-
cohol abuse, and other social
issues continue to confront
local communities. The need
for positive community rela-
tionships, perhaps now more
than ever, is important to law
enforcement. Come attend
this important conversation.
