- Sep 1410:00 AMEncounters: The Changing Landscape Of Policing- A Community Dialogue21st-century America is increasingly polarized over policing. From yard signs to public protests, from political rhetoric to legislative acts, tension over the role and status of police grips us daily. Why are we so divided over this issue? Are there new approaches that might find broader support? Join us for a dialogue on this most critically important subject in which we will explore the development of policing in our democracy and discuss the present-day landscape of law enforcement, community relations, individual rights, and possible ways forward from our current landscape. Facilitated, small-group conversations will be followed by a Q&A with guest scholars and activists. You are warmly and respectfully encouraged to come speak from your heart about this subject that lies at the shared heart of the "Land of the Free." This event is hosted by Democracy and Dialogues Initiative (https://humanrights.uconn.edu/areas-of-focus/democracy-dialogues/), The Social Work & Law Enforcement (SWLE), (https://swleproject.com/) and the CT Collaborative (https://www.ctcollaborativeinfo.org/)
