Alexandria’s new Police Chief Tarrick McGuire will host a town hall meeting in Arlandria on Friday (Dec. 27).
The effort is part of McGuire’s 100-day action plan to get input from the community on “urgent matters that need immediate attention,” which will result in the Alexandria Police Department’s creation of a “change management roadmap to better align the agency and establish key priorities.”
The first hour-long conversation will be held on Friday (Dec. 27) from 6 to 7 p.m. at St. Rita Catholic School cafeteria (3801 Russell Road).
“As the department considers strategies to address public safety action items, it’s critical we have our community stakeholders, residents, business owners, and operators at the table so we move forward with a shared vision and ownership in the plan, as One Alexandria and One APD,” said McGuire in a statement.
McGuire officially started work last month in a city experiencing a crime increase. He took the reins from Assistant Police Chief Raul Pedroso, who was named interim chief after former Chief Don Hayes retired in February.
McGuire’s next town hall hasn’t been made public yet, but he plans on multiple meetings around the city by the end of January, according to APD.
Below is a flyer on the upcoming event.
