The names George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Rayshard Brooks are being chanted in the streets across America as part of a charged discourse on policing. Likewise, some protestors are calling to “defund” the police while violent crime is increasing. The need for healthy dialogue geared towards a curative and reconciliatory outcome is abundantly clear.

The Clarkston OneCOP Initiative is partnering with Clarkston International Bible Church, Clarkston First Baptist Church, and the Clarkston Police Department to take key steps toward a collaborative and reconciliatory approach. We will be live streaming the panel discussion on July 30 at 6:00 pm.
