Five Points CAC Virtual Meeting
March 9 @ 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Join Zoom Meeting
Hi Five Points:
Please plan to join us for the March 9th Five Points CAC Zoom meeting.
Captain J.R. Manson will give us a police report for recent crime in the Five Points area.
Then we will be joined by Sgt. Madeline Horner and other members of the Raleigh ACORNS (Addressing Crises through Outreach, Referrals, Networking, and Service) team. ACORNS is a proactive unit that works with residents experiencing crises and connects them with appropriate community resources. The team pairs social workers with law enforcement officers to provide support using the most appropriate and least intrusive interventions possible.
This discussion is the follow-up to Captain Manson’s safety presentation in January. During that meeting, there was interest in hosting a special follow-up session in February. However, the weather issues in early February created scheduling challenges for me—and likely for others as well. Planning a special meeting later in February would have placed it very close to our regular March meeting, which is relatively early in March. As a result, I decided it would be best to continue the discussion at our March meeting.
Also at our meeting, we will be joined by Brian Smith, Natural Resources Superintendent at City of Raleigh Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources, to talk with us about Raleigh’s Biophilic Efforts and Invasive Species Program.
And Council Member Christina Jones plans to join us to share a City Council update.
Hope to see you all there!
