Series Description and Goals
Series Description and Goals
The goal of this series is to motivate, educate, and empower community members and civic leaders to make substantive, structural change to policing in our area. As residents of St. Peter and the Greater Mankato area, we want to work with local government and public safety departments to be more responsive to community needs. We want progress toward safe, inclusive, and equitable communities where everyone’s dignity and worth is affirmed no matter their race, background, religion, age, ability, or identity.
