The evolution of policing in America and in Placer County

Rocklin, Calif. – Wednesday, March 8 in Rocklin: Community Conversations on Race – The evolution of policing in America and in Placer County – panel discussion.

After the death of George Floyd in 2020, calls to “defund the Police” and the recent death of Tyre Nichols, many cities and Police Departments are reevaluating their police practices.

How has policing changed over time? What kind of policing do we want to occur moving forward? Are current police officers adequately trained for current and future incidents like domestic disputes, mental health crises and cybercrime? What qualities do police officers need today to resolve these calls? How do we want them to handle mental health situations?
