Building Bridges, Mending Fences
Advancing Pretrial Policy and Research (APPR) is offering a four-session virtual course on community engagement and criminal legal system policy and practice. The course will help participants understand the spectrum of community engagement and create a plan for meaningful community engagement. Four 90-minute sessions will be held on the following Wednesdays from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. ET: April 13, April 27, May 11, and May 25, 2022.
This course is open to the public, and intended for people working within the criminal legal system as well as community leaders. Participants will explore what constitutes meaningful community engagement and work toward developing a plan for community engagement. Participants are encouraged to attend all four sessions if they are able. For more details and to register for the series, read the announcement.
