I'm honored to have participated as a panelist at the 3rd annual “Ties That Bond” event representing the Office of Crime Prevention. It was a meaningful opportunity to engage in open dialogue, share insights, and collaborate with community leaders and partners who are all committed to building safer, stronger connections.

Events like this remind us that prevention starts with listening, understanding, and working together to create positive change. Thank you to love and everyone who contributed to such an impactful conversation.

It was truly a fantastic experience attending the Kingdom Sports Program’s final Saturday event of the year. The atmosphere was vibrant and full of energy as kids gathered on the Truth Springs campus, eager to participate in basketball games. What makes this program stand out is its dedication to creating a secure and welcoming environment where young participants not only engage in healthy competition but also have the chance to learn from respected leaders within our community. This unique blend of sportsmanship and mentorship makes each event memorable for everyone involved.

The online application portal will open on February 1st. I have enclosed a link below.

Last night, The Office of Crime Prevention had the pleasure of participating in National Night Out — an evening dedicated to strengthening police-community partnerships.

From amazing food to great music, the event was filled with fun and unity. What truly stood out was seeing neighborhoods from across the city come together in support of our officers and each other.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out and made the night so special!

The Office of Crime Prevention was beyond ecstatic to be one of the vendors at this year’s Back to School Bash! It was a great opportunity to connect with the community, share valuable resources, and support students as they gear up for a successful school year. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and to the organizers for putting together such a meaningful event!

Had a great turnout, thankful we were allowed to participate.

We’re thrilled to be a vendor at the upcoming Back-to-School Bash, hosted by the City Manager’s Millennial Roundtable!
