Board plans July public‑safety town hall; members urge immigrant‑rights groups to participate
Summary
The board announced plans for a public‑safety town hall in July and discussed inviting immigrant legal and community organizations to address immigration-related public-safety concerns and administrative warrants raised at a recent panel with police leadership.
The Community Review Board said it will host a public‑safety town hall in July and encouraged board members to save the date as staff begin planning.
A board staff member announced: “We are planning on having a public safety town hall in the month of July. Hopefully, the second, or July. Probably third week.” Members said they expect to invite other departments and community partners.
At the meeting, members also suggested inviting immigrant legal firms and community organizations to the town hall after a member reported attending a panel with Chief Drake where administrative warrants and immigration concerns were discussed. One board member recommended reaching out to groups the transcript names as “TURK” and “Tennessee Justice for Our Neighbors” to provide community perspective and legal expertise on immigration‑linked public‑safety issues.
Board staff said they will send save‑the‑dates and that planning will include a strategy meeting to develop the agenda and identify experts to speak on current community safety issues.
