Advisors attend Madison’s First Public Safety Summit

Madison Police Department staff and other community leaders hosted their very first Public Safety Summit on July 23 at the Warner Park Community Center, and several CPAB Advisors were in attendance.

The goal: to understand current safety trends in Madison and the strategies the community is using to prevent crime.

Panelists, including representatives from the Dane County Sheriff’s Office, Public Health Madison & Dane County, and Focused Interruption Coalition discussed opportunities for collaboration to enhance safety in Madison.

“We want our community to share their concerns. We want people to have a better understanding of the community-wide effort our department is doing to reduce violence,” said Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes.
