Community engagement

Yeah.

Now I've got to say, you won an award, Community Engagement for 2026 at the Future of Ageing Awards.

Yes.

What was this for? So

Well, no.

I was the director of the Sister Dorothy Stant Center for Social Justice and Community Engagement.

Ah, okay.

Community Engagement person at the university.

But we were commissioned to continue the legacy of Sister Dorothy Stant.

I did also continue Holocaust education when I was there.

Yeah, we're talking with Chief Michael Kotchis as we continue here this morning.

Now, you have those multiple investigations going on, but you also, as an adjunct to community engagement, did you guys, are you launching something new? Is there a Citizens Academy or volunteer program or something you're doing? We're doing

a lot.

What's going on? So we have a Citizens Academy going on right now.

And I will tell you, as soon as we announced it, within 24 hours, we started getting a whole bunch of applications.

And so...

It's pretty cool because if you think about what we really try to do at the police department when it comes to community policing, community engagement, community involvement, whatever, it's really about involving the community in what we do.

Opening our doors, working side by side with its police department to address the complex issues of the day.
