“The management of Keesee’s Barbershop and customers were welcoming and very open in their opinions,” CPD spokesman Jim Knoll said. “The conversations covered a wide variety of topics such as consolidation, recruitment of minorities, ways to improve relations and some of the perceptions in the community about law enforcement. The Chief and officers did not shy away from the tough questions and it was the type of interaction the Police Department has been striving to achieve.”
The department expressed gratitude to Keesee’s Barbershop for allowing officers to visit during a busy time.
