• Shaping community policing policies
• Promoting racial equity;
• Evaluating use of force protocols;
• Improving responses to mental health crises; • Addressing criminal activity and trends; • Fostering transparency in police operations.
The board will consist of 11 members, representing a diverse cross-section of the Lexington community, including residents, business owners, school leaders, spiritual/ clergy leaders, non-profit leaders, and college students.
Applications are being accepted until 5 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 10, 2025. For detailed information about the advisory board and how to apply, visit https://www.lexingtonvapd. com/community-links-main/chief’sadvisory- board.
