Police + Community Trust Initiative

From the Mayor’s Office. Facing the past. Building trust. Moving forward.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Initiated by the Office of the Mayor, the Police and Community Trust Initiative is a city-led campaign to acknowledge past actions, address historical grievances and mistrust, and improve transparency.

The strategy was established through advanced research, Steering Committee meetings, and engagement with partners. A citywide climate survey with more than 800 responses recorded resident sentiment and gave people a voice. We identified key audiences and set clear messages and channels for each.
