Community Action and Engagement
Is your local group, neighborhood or business looking for a way to engage with the Renton Police Department? Community Action and Engagement meetings may provide the best opportunity for you to do just that.
What is Community Action and Engagement
Community Action and Engagement opportunities were created in response to community feedback, surveys and polls requesting more opportunities to engage with the Renton Police Department in the form of meetings.
Goal of Community Action Engagement and Meetings
To assist the Renton Police Department in better understanding what matters to you most and ensure we are providing the law enforcement service you expect and deserve. In turn we will educate, inform and review our practice and policies through ongoing engagement opportunities.
