On Monday, August 10th in Auburn Memorial City Hall Council’s chambers, the Auburn Police Department executive team provided a formal presentation to the leadership of Auburn’s social justice organizations. Led by Chief Shawn Butler, this gathering sought to enhance understanding as to APD’s policies, protocols, operational procedures, and other issues that the leadership of social justice organizations need to know especially as these organizations move forward initiatives to create a more inclusive, respectful community in partnership with law enforcement.

In collaboration with the Auburn/Cayuga branch of the NAACP and the City of Auburn’s Human Rights Commission, the Harriet Tubman Center for Justice and Peace worked with and helped to facilitate the Auburn Police Department’s presentation.
