Big Plans Unfold in Knoxville: Join the Conversation!
If you’re in Knoxville, mark your calendars and set those reminders because something exciting is happening! This Wednesday, December 12th, the Knoxville community is coming together for a must-attend meeting at Chilhowee Park. Located at the Jacob Building, 3301 E Magnolia Ave, this is your chance to hear from the man at the helm of community policing efforts – Jered Croom.
Meet Jered Croom
Jered Croom, who was appointed as the director of the Knoxville Police Advisory and Review Committee (PARC) in 2022, is passionate about making our streets safer and our community stronger. This civilian body, designed to keep a close eye on police activities in Knoxville, is all about transparency and accountability. Croom is a familiar face in the Knoxville area, known for his deep-rooted advocacy for social justice and as a committed community organizer.
Transparency You Can Trust
At the upcoming meeting, Croom will delve into how PARC is elevating police-community relationships by promoting fair law enforcement practices. He’s determined to ensure that policing in Knoxville is not only effective but also garners the trust of the community it serves. With a focus on adapting to the evolving needs of our neighborhoods, Croom insists that his leadership underscores the importance of respectful interactions between law enforcement and citizens. So, if you have questions or suggestions, this is the perfect moment to let your voice be heard!
