With broad jurisdiction and limited state oversight, sheriffs play an important role in policing, incarceration, and public safety. Join the Portage County Action Team and partners for a community discussion unpacking the power and scope of local sheriffs.
What are the differences between sheriffs and police officers? Can sheriffs promote criminal legal system reform or support free and fair elections? Hear from community partners as we discuss ways to hold the sheriff accountable to all voters. Leave with important information about the sheriff's position and plug into voter protection opportunities locally and statewide.
Light lunch made available. Registration required.
