Policing in San Mateo: Data, Impact, and Discussion
Mon, December 6, 2:00 - 4:00 pm
Recent events locally and nationwide have raised our collective awareness of the disparate impact that policing can have in diverse communities. These events call on each of us to explore and better understand the impact of policing in our own communities. It is important to work collaboratively to ensure law enforcement best serves the needs of our entire community.
This is the first of two convenings to explore the issue of policing here in our communities. In this first meeting we seek to understand: What information is there about police activity and race disparities in SMC? How do you find it? What does it mean? We will present a real-life case study of how to get data on policing, review the data on arrests and racial disparities in SMC, and then host a facilitated conversation among researchers, law enforcement, those working with juvenile justice, and community activists.
Peninsula Family Service and Thrive Alliance are committed to fostering a vibrant dialogue that builds strong communities. We are coming together to co-produce this convening to create an environment where all organizations, nonprofits, police, city, county, neighborhoods, and neighbors can learn and grow. Policing is integral to the fabric of our societies, and having frank, balanced, and well-informed conversations benefit all of us. Join us for an honest, facilitated discussion about the data and the impact of policing in San Mateo County and the City of San Mateo.
This session will be moderated by Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center Executive Director Malissa Netane-Jones. The participants are San Mateo Police ChiefEd Barberini, San Mateo County SheriffCarlos G. Bolanos, Fresh Lifelines for Youth San Mateo Director Kate Hiester, Public Policy Institute of California Policy Director Magnus Lofstrom, Stanford Master's Candidate Andrew Skelton, and SMFCSD Trustee Shara Watkins.
