For the Reporter
The Kent Police Department invites residents to a community meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Meridian Elementary School, 25621 140th Ave. SE.
The focus of the meeting is to bring police leadership and community members together to address local crime concerns and introduce resources that Kent Police can provide to help residents make their neighborhoods safer and more secure.
Kent Police Chief Ken Thomas, Kent Police Department command staff and other police department personnel will share crime trends, prevention and programming. The Kent Police Honor Guard will make a special presentation.
A cornerstone of the Kent Police strategy for creating safe communities lays in intelligence-led policing. The practice uses real-time crime intelligence, sharing information with partners, pro-active problem solving and community partnerships to address the issues of crime while improving the quality of life.
Kent Police host four community meetings each year, rotating them among neighborhoods.
