Calvin Williams, Cleveland Police Chief: Our Collective Challenge: Restoring Mutual Trust and Respect Between Law Enforcement and Our Neighborhoods

This episode from August 17, 2017 is part of our "Most Memorable" collection. Recommended by Akron Roundtable board member, Vivian Hairston: "Chief Williams, did a really great job of helping me understand policing from the police perspective.  I also gained a better understanding of the consent decree." As we collectively explore the topic of policing, this is an opportunity to reflect back on the 2017 presentation's message aimed at bridging the gap between police and community through addressing past mistakes as well as taking a holistic approach to change in our education, health care, economic and criminal justice systems, alike. Chief Calvin D. Williams is the 40th Chief of the Cleveland Division of Police, appointed as Chief on February 10, 2014.
