On Monday, May 20, the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office announced an upcoming town hall meeting that will be held in a place where these types of events are rarely held – Jamestown.
According to department officials, the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office Town Hall will offer an opportunity for members of the community to engage with Sheriff’s Office officials and deputies to discuss matters that the Sheriff’s Office and the community members consider important.
It will take place on Thursday, May 23, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
In recent years, nationwide, there’s been a growing chasm and distrust between law enforcement officers and the people they serve – and events such as this, and similar events held throughout the year, are meant to give county residents a better understanding of law enforcement officers’ motives and concerns and, likewise, the meetings let the officers hear the concerns of the people.
Promotional material from the Sheriff’s Office regarding the event states, “With a commitment to transparency and unity, the town hall aims to bridge the gap between law enforcement and the community.”
Usually held in Greensboro or High Point, the event will be held in Jamestown this time around. However, it will be virtual as well: For those unable to physically attend, the town hall will be live-streamed on Facebook Live. Also, a Zoomlink will be posted on the Sheriff’s Office’s website the day of the meeting for those who wish to attend virtually – “ensuring that everyone can participate in this important community dialogue.”
The meeting announcement notes, “Whether you choose to participate in person or virtually, your presence and input are highly valued.”
For those who wish to watch in person, the meeting will be held at the Jamestown Town Hall at 301 E. Main Street in Jamestown
I wonder if anyone will bring up the Adams Farm homicide from last year. It’s strongly believed that Danny Rogers wasn’t even checked out on the call and entered the crime scene and never did a supplemental along with his commanders. Don’t you agree that anyone that enters a crime scene should have to do a additional report stating their actions while inside the crime scene? It appears since Danny Rogers has taken office he has done zero supplementary reports in any crime scene he’s entered causing questionable outcome of each case.
Perhaps he is not familiar with Locard’s principle or maybe it’s just hubris….
When it comes to this bunch, there are incompetents & rats that should be distrusted that will be doing a good bit of the presenting. Citizens of Jamestown, please ask why the best SRO Captain they’ve ever had was fired without notice? Please ask why they promoted a known bully who can barely tie their own shoe to fill the void? No offense to the fine gentleman that was transferred into that role. When good people are leaving voluntarily in droves, there’s usually a problem.
