“Getting to know each other better is important for all of us and for the Lynwood community.”
That’s how a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department described the “Ice Cream Social” Town Hall event Wednesday that attracted an estimated 20 Lynwood teens.
Captain Kerry Carter’s idea is that having these meetings gives his team a chance to learn what the teens are thinking and gives the teens an opportunity to see the law enforcement personnel as real people.
“The teens are the future of our community and keeping open lines of communication is critical.”
Mission accomplished.
