Sarasota Police, Community Meeting Set For Next Week

SARASOTA, FL — Sarasota residents and business leaders who have an interest in public safety are invited to attend the next New Beginnings II community meeting on Wednesday, May 11.

New Beginnings II was launched in 2014 and has since involved a number of semi-regular meetings between law enforcement and interested members of the community. The meetings are designed to provide an open platform for residents to discuss community oriented policing, quality of life issues and other concerns they may have. The first meeting of its kind was staged in July 2014. Meetings have since take place every few months with the first one of 2016 held in January.

“These meetings are a chance to continue the conversation about public and officer safety,” explained Chief Bernadette DiPino. “We will continue to work together to keep our community safe, build relationships and trust and partner with our community to keep the city of Sarasota a safe place to live, work and play.”

The May 11 meeting is set to take place at the Robert L. Taylor Community Complex, 1845 34th St. in Sarasota. The event is scheduled for 6 to 8 p.m.

Anyone with an interest in helping keep the community, its residents, police and workers safe is invited to attend.
