City police celebrate 5 years of community policing

Since 2003, the Providence Police Department has opened up community police substations across the city.

Today, Police Chief Dean N. Esserman, Mayor David N. Cicilline, members of the Providence Police Department and the community will celebrate five years of community policing.

Organizations and residents who have worked with the police department will receive awards and the group will march together through the neighborhood, “symbolizing the collective efforts of police and residents to reclaim the streets and rid Providence neighborhoods of crime," according to a statement from the mayor’s office.

The event is set to begin today at 10:15 a.m. at the community room at Lockwood Plaza, 50 Prairie Ave.
