This video is <br /> extremely disturbing and could occur anywhere in our nation. Many people in our <br /> community and around our country have witnessed or experienced a similar act directly <br /> or indirectly and it must end. I will continue to monitor this issue closely, and I hope our <br /> Mayor will take issues of police misconduct seriously and address them appropriately. <br /> I am working with several community-based organizations to address these issues. We <br /> will begin our first of a series of community hearings this Thursday, October 9, 2014 at <br /> New Birth Christian Ministries starting at 6 pm. New Birth Christian Ministries is located <br /> at 729 Harrison Ave. <br /> I will be moderating this public safety forum. Our specific focus is the issue dealing with <br /> the Mr. Tom Stevens occurrence and more importantly working to install a Citizens <br /> Review Board which will give our citizens the ability to serve in a decision making <br /> capacity. <br /> Here in South Bend we have participatory government and it works most effectively and <br /> efficiently when all members of the community are involved. Please join me for this <br /> important event; together South Bend we can make a difference. <br /> 227 W.Jefferson Blvd.Rm.441 <br /> County-City Building South Bend,IN Office: (574)235-9321 <br /> Voicemail: (574)235-5983 Email:hdavis @southbendin.gov, <br />
