Community Dialogues

Community Dialogues will consist of a lecture by an expert in a specific field, and a question and answer and discussion session that will encourage participation of the attending audience. Intended for teenage and adult audiences, these dialogues will address more complex topics such as relations between police officers and specific cultural communities. Through the power of discussion and an open and engaging atmosphere, these dialogues have the potential to unravel long-held attitudes between the community and CMPD at large. Dialogue topics will vary by date.

Dates: April 15, June 17, October 21, November 18

Times: 6:30-8:30pm

Admission: Admission is free, but seating is limited and advanced registration is required.

 

April 15: CMPD Deputy Chief Harold Medlock, Officer Eric Boulware, and Ryan Sumner, research historian for Beneath the Badge will discuss the history of policing in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, the potential impact of the exhibit on both the community and the CMPD, and will share stories about the interesting people and events that shaped the history of policing in our community.

June 17: The first female officers in our community, Gail Sloan and Mickey Casey, and the first black female officer, Annie Gillespie will share stories about their experiences as pioneers in a male-dominated culture.
