The Chief of Police Selection Committee invites the residents, business owners and civic groups of Saint Paul to attend a community meeting and offer their thoughts regarding the personal characteristics, traits and leadership style of the next Chief of Police.

Community Meetings will be conducted:

Tuesday, March 9, 2004
6 to 7:30 p.m.

Hallie Q. Brown/Martin Luther King Center

Thursday, March 18, 2004

Attendees will have an opportunity to write their comments (in any language) or orally present their comments within a set time limit using a microphone. Residents will be informed of the general selection process and the important role the community plays by providing input.

Their input will be used as the selection committee narrows the Chief of Police field down to the top five finalists.
Community members who are unable to attend a meeting but would like to provide input, may send comments (in any language) before March 18 to:
