Is there anything town leaders can do to make it safe and comfortable for the groups to come forward with concerns or complaints about being profiled, without fear of negative repercussions?

The Town held one community conversation on September 29, 2020 to hear the community's concerns, and will be holding more in the future to continue the dialogue. There also have been training programs for Town staff. Additionally, we have joined the Government Alliance on Race and Equity for further training, and we have contracted with All Aces Inc. to do work on a community-wide diversity and equity program over the next year.
