DESCRIPTION
This networking workshop aims to connect Community Police Officers (CPOs) with grassroots Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs) that work closely within local communities.
The session will begin with a welcome, followed by short presentations from 3 to 5 organizations about their work and their connection to the community. Mr. John Boyrard, Community Police Officer, will then give a presentation, joined by several of his CPO colleagues.
After the presentations, there will be a 15-minute break, allowing CPOs and NPOs to connect and network. The session will conclude with a Q&A discussion, where further insights will be shared, and opportunities for collaboration between CPOs and NPOs will be explored.
