Salem – Salem Interim Police Chief Dennis King spoke with MSO News today and responded to Rick Moore’s questions about the status of the Salem Police Department and what tomorrow’s Town Hall is all about.
From City of Salem website:
Earlier this summer Salem Mayor Kim Driscoll took the Reimagining Policing Pledge developed by the Obama Foundation. A key component of the pledge is to conduct a review of the local police department’s use of force policy, including gathering public feedback and input.
To that end, Salem residents are invited to participate in an online Use of Force Town Hall on Tuesday, September 29th from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. The Town Hall will be broadcast live on www.salem.com/useofforce and streamed live on the City’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/cityofsalemma. A recording of it will also be available on the City’s Facebook page after the event and rebroadcast on Salem Access TV.
The Town Hall will be co-moderated by Mayor Driscoll and members of the City’s Race Equity Task Force. The event will start with a presentation by the Salem Police Department Acting Chief of Police Dennis King. Following the presentation there will be an opportunity for attendees to ask questions.
