Livingstone College, Rowan County Crosby Scholars and Salisbury PD Partner for Program

The Salisbury Police department in partnership with Rowan County Crosby Scholars, and the Office of Career and Professional Development at Livingstone College will continue its community oriented policing efforts to include an informational lecture series entitled, “Community Classroom.” Community Classroom is an interactive educational session for citizens, age 16 and up, taught by local police officers. The sessions are designed to provide education and insight into the various aspects of police work specific to the Salisbury community.

The next installment (Decision-making and the use of force), will occur on April 7, 2018 on the beautiful campus of Livingstone College. The attendees will include students from the Criminal Justice Department at Livingstone College who are aspiring police officers, and area high school seniors participating in the Crosby Scholars program.

The objectives of this program include:

• Creating community ambassadors to help the police department combat crime and develop a safer community through education
• Creating a community understanding regarding the complexity involved in police work.
• Dispelling misconceptions about the roles and responsibilities of a Salisbury Police Officer.
