Fix Broken Windows Policing


REMINDER ACTION ALERT - Fix Broken Policing - Black and Brown Coalition Citizen Oversight Board Meeting - Televised Live on Channel 8

DATE: Thursday, January 29, 2009 TIME: 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
LOCATION: Police District 6- La Alma/Lincoln Park Recreation Center 1325 W. 11th Ave., Denver, CO 80204

We need to have an active presence at the next Citizen Oversight Board (COB) meeting. This is supposed to be the board that was implemented as one of the improvements for police accountability after 15-year-old Paul Childs was shot to death in his doorway by a Denver Police officer. The COB is supposed to be monitoring the Office of the Independent Monitor's Office which monitors the Denver Police Department. We will be demanding to know why the COB has not taken any action on our concerns regarding racial profiling, the lack of police accountability, and why they have such a
cosy relationship with the police department. Please join the FBP Black and Brown Coalition in demanding accountability from the COB and the Denver Police Department. For more information, please contact INCITE! Denver at info4incitedenver@gmail.com or call Art Way at the Colorado Progressive Coalition at 303-866-0908
