Community Interact
"Letter to the Community"
sent to residents



Los residentes estan invitados "para charlar con el jefe"
este sábado Junio 25, 2005

"I believe the first steps necessary to restore public trust and confidence are openness and communication."

So states new East Palo Alto Police Chief Ron Davis in a "Letter to the Community" sent out this week. In the letter the new Chief describes immediate steps he has taken to respond to the recent increase in violence. He goes on to describe strategic law enforcement steps he plans to take in the months to come.

However, Chief Davis puts law enforcement in a broader contest when he says, "For long-term crime and violence reduction to occur, the police must work in partnership with the community to identify and solve problems."

Community Interact! Project Coordinator

Administered by One East Palo Alto, Community Interact! (CI), an East Palo Alto Digital Village (EPADV) signature project, has begun to bring a majority of East of Bayshore nonprofit and faith-based entities online with subsidized high speed Internet connectivity. At the CI project launch held in March, over 20 such organizations-the pilot cohort-were awarded their grants and given HP computer equipment.

Nonprofit and Faith-based organizations are the target of this grant opportunity because they have acquired the expertise and client relationships necessary to positively impact the families who use their services.
