Kent County PAB highlights community outreach, schedules training in Denton
Summary
Board members reported positive turnout at a Chestertown "Coffee" event and a food-truck program, thanked law enforcement partners, and noted upcoming training in Denton for board members and staff.
At its Sept. 4 meeting, the Kent County Police Accountability Board reviewed recent outreach events and confirmed training plans. Speaker 2 told members the board had participated in a Chestertown "Coffee with..." event and thanked partners (including a named supporter, Duncan) for assistance with refreshments. Speaker 5 said they were "very surprised by the number of people that came out" and indicated the board will likely host another outreach event.
Speaker 2 also reported on a food-truck program that several board members and deputies attended; members described the turnout as positive. The board confirmed that registrations and confirmations had been sent for upcoming training in Denton.
Why it matters: board outreach is part of efforts to increase transparency, build community trust, and inform residents about the PAB's role. Members praised participation by field officers and emphasized that coordination between oversight bodies and law enforcement supports constructive oversight.
The meeting closed after routine business and a brief case review; members moved to adjourn and said they would continue administrative discussions at a later date.
