Edina, Minn., March 31, 2023 – Applications are open for people who are interested in serving on the Edina Joint Community Police Partnership’s Multicultural Advisory Committee (MAC).
The committee is an engaged group of volunteers who will consult with the Edina Police Department on how to better serve, communicate with and understand the many cultures within the community. Once formed, the MAC will meet once a month with Police personnel for an hour and a half to discuss topics that are important to their communities, build mutual trust and open two-way communication.
People who apply to serve on the MAC should:
- Live, work or worship in Edina
- Embrace the diversity of the Edina community
- Be willing and eager to participate in challenging and meaningful conversations
- Act as a bridge between the community and Police Department
- Work collaboratively to enhance relationships between police and the community, specifically with immigrants and people of color in Edina
