The Palm Springs Police Department is inviting residents to weigh in on its policing and priorities starting Monday.
In a message shared on Facebook, the department says the Town Meetings will discuss their priorities, review their accomplishments, and discuss what it can do to improve.
In the message, Chief Andrew Mills said, “We want to give you the raw statistics and data so you can make decisions.”
Residents can attend any of the four Town Meetings listed below:
- North District: Monday, February 26th, 4:30-5:30 p.m. at Raymond Cree Middle School Cafeteria, 1011 E. Vista Chino
- Business District: Tuesday, February 27th, 11:00 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Convention Center East Lawn, 277 N. Avenida Caballeros
- Central District: Wednesday February 28th, 5:30-6:30 p.m., Hilton, Tapestry Room, 400 E Tahquitz Way
- South District: Thursday, February 29th, 4:00-5:00 p.m. Indian Canyons Golf Resort South Clubhouse, 1097 E. Murray Canyon.
The department hosted similar Town Hall Meetings two years ago where residents expressed that one of their top priorities was reducing fatal collisions.
Chief Mills reported that fatal collisions had gone from 16 in 2022 to 7 in 2023 after fatalities were discussed in the meeting.
