Reminder: Roseville Violence Prevention Forum is Tuesday Night

A community forum on "Creating a Safe and Connected Community" will be held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday (April 30) at the Roseville Skating Center, 2661 Civic Center Drive. 

This first session on violence prevention (and a second one scheduled May 14 also at the Skating Center) is being sponsored by the Roseville Human Rights, Commission, the Roseville Police Department and Roseville Public Schools 623.

City Human Rights Commission Chairman Gary Grefenberg said his group is organizing the dialogue sessions in response to high-profile examples of national violence including the shootings of grade-school children at Newtown, Conneticut and the recent Boston Marathon bombings. 

Discussion will be on these two questions:

    When have you felt safe and connected in your community, however you define community?

     How might we foster a safe and connected Roseville, both individually and collectively in our neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and more?

"This dialogue is a unique hybrid of a town hall (meeting) and focus group, with elements of a precinct caucus thrown in." Grefenberg said. 

Results from the April 30 meeting will be discussed at a May 14 dialogue with a report made available to the Human Rights Comission and the City Hall staff and Council. 

To register for the second dialogue, email human.rights@ci.roseville.mn.us or call 651-792-7026.
