Tacoma Seeks To Strengthen Community-Police Relations Through Dialogue

City of Tacoma
Project Peace, in session, September 14, 2015

The city of Tacoma wants to improve how its citizens and the police force interact with each other. It started Project Peace - an ongoing series of facilitated conversations that are taking place throughout the city.

At each meeting, police officers and community members use the open platform to share their fears and hopes. KPLU student reporter Zoe Velie talked with participants at a Project Peace event at Tacoma's Lincoln High School.
