The Community Safety and Violence Prevention Implementation Committee will make recommendations on the implementation of the Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimlock-Heisler Community Safety and Violence Prevention Act, including ordinances, resolutions, policies, guidelines, and other recommendations. You can read or download the Act here: https://www.ci.brooklyn-center.mn.us/home/showpublisheddocument/1665/637683298143730000. 

The committee is open to all residents of Brooklyn Center, as well as other local, state, and national experts in public health-oriented approaches to community safety. Members must share a commitment to creating a safer, healthier, more just, and thriving community, and a commitment to creating a diversity of responses to community safety needs that do not rely solely on armed enforcement officers. 

The time commitment for committee members is expected to be approximately 5-10 hours per month. There will also be an opportunity for applicants not selected for the Implementation Committee to serve on subcommittees when they are created. For more information, please contact Margretta Getaweh at mgetaweh@ci.brooklyn.center.mn.us.
