OPINION:
In our current world, policing is a major issue. The Race for Peace Committee is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit formed in 2016 to enrich the lives of residents in all communities through programs, resources and activities for the family that help us reach an understanding between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
The main goals are ongoing dialogue with communities and the police; mentoring youth; working with police and seniors; developing incentive programs that will help promote peace; annually visiting prisons; ending violence and bringing peace to all communities in our region and our country; creating harmonious relations between police and members of communities; and promoting excellence in police-officer training.
The committee’s mission is to revitalize the community through enrichment and outreach programs and to maintain a collective voice and sharing of ideas, creating an atmosphere of peace that encourages good citizenship.
By seeing through community members’ eyes, understanding their needs and delivering more than they expect, we create enthusiasm in communities. For more information, visit raceforpeace.org.
