Police & Community – Page 27 – CAHRO – California Association of Human Relations Organizations

CAHRO is a strong advocate for community policing as a vehicle for preventing conflicts between law enforcement agencies and the communities they are charged with serving. If police agencies have a strong positive relationship helping neighborhoods address causes of crimes by providing resources and support we believe they will establish avenues of communication that will prevent major conflicts from escalating.

Prison Program Turns Inmates Into Intellectuals

By Carmen Chandler| 2016-12-02T17:11:10+00:00 June 2nd, 2014|Education, Intergroup Relations, Police & Community|

Otisville Correctional Facility is a medium-security state prison, 79 miles northwest of Manhattan, on the site of a former tuberculosis sanitarium — with an equalizing element of portent, near the town of Mount Hope.
