One doesn’t have to read many local headlines or watch much local television news to feel very unsafe in what was once the relatively not scary city of Greensboro.
These days, however, there seem to be constant threats all around – but City of Greensboro leaders and safety experts want you to know that there are a lot of things you can do to keep safe even in these highly threatening times.
That’s why, on Tuesday, April 9, and Thursday, April 11, the city will have all hands on deck – the Greensboro Police Department, the Greensboro Fire Department, Guilford Metro 911 and the Office of Community Safety – to provide a comprehensive update, and get feedback on, the State of Public Safety in the city.
At the events, each department will discuss “challenges, problem solving, innovation and how to engage our community to be part of the solutions.”
. Both forums are scheduled for 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and there will be time allotted for attendees to ask questions.
The first forum, on April 9, will be held at Bennett College in the Multi-Purpose Room at the college’s Global Learning Center. That’s at 521 Gorrell St in Greensboro. For a map, you can go to the following link: https://www.bennett.edu/campus-map/
The second community forum, on April 11, will take place at UNCG’s Elliot University Center in the Alexander Room on the lower level. That address is 507 Stirling St. in Greensboro.
Parking will be available at Walker Deck. (City officials note that “Motorists leaving early should press the intercom button at the exit gate and tell the attendant they were there for the Public Safety forum.”)
Driving directions and campus maps for the April 11 forum are available at https://parking.uncg.edu/
What absurd window dressing.
With four words, you saved me from making the same point in two or three paragraphs.

Thanks Miller! Brevity is the soul of wit.

The soul of a nitwit.
Get ready the warm and fuzzy feeling. They will not discuss the problem. Kids with no supervision, the I am entitled just because, where are the parents etc. It is a shame that one cannot feel safe anymore, but this is a national problem, and nobody is talking about the root cause for fear of making someone mad, and fear of payback.
Totally agree
More BS from this worthless city council.
Hire more police, arrest the criminals who are putting us in danger and incarcerate them. Elect judges that don’t coddle criminals. Hire and train fire suppression personnel and EMS employees based on training and competence and not on DIE. The citizens of Greensboro will be less likely to suffer. There, fixed it….
Well there is a problem. Officers can’t arrest the criminals who are in fact committing the crimes because of all of this ALLEGED PROFILING. Someone might wind up offended. So law enforcement and the courts do wind up coddling the criminals and law abiding citizens continue to suffer.
Hire more police and firemen that you ran off City Counci (with the help of the overpaid manager that just resigned rather than be fired as he should have been)…stop the madness and hire the officials needed for our safety that we are paying so dearly for with taxes!!!
Gore the police and firemen that was let go for not taking the worthless COVID vaccine and wearing a what we know now to be a worthless mask.
The City Council reads this forum, but ignores the chatter. They will do as they please until the next election; when our electorate will give them another shot. Unless conservatives show up for the vote.
What a waste and time and resources. Just window dressing. There was a really small crowd at Bennett College Tuesday night. The firemen, police, EMS, and 911 dispatch almost outnumbered the attendees!
