Recent actions by local police have damaged trust between local police and residents. For example, many residents when stopped for traffic infractions have been asked about their immigration status, and later sent to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
When this happens, many people no longer feel safe reporting crimes or collaborating as witnesses.
The Diversity Commission will hear stories from Seattle, where residents and city officials have worked together to pass an ordinance and build relationships that are making the community safe for all residents. These examples show that trust between police and the community make the community safer and stronger.
Come and join us, and let’s work together to make Lynnwood a safe and welcoming city!
