A Flint resource focused on advocating and amplifying community voices
Introduction
Established in 2020, the Flint Community Advisory Taskforce on Public Safety (FCATOPS) was created in response to the historic uprising against police brutality and movement for Black lives.
We are a community resource and advisory body to the mayor focused on advocating for and amplifying the voices and concerns of our community, connecting them to resources, and redefining the relationship between community and public safety institutions.
Mission
Our mission is to bridge the gap between law enforcement and the greater Flint community to foster equity, peaceful resolution and systemic change to ensure the equal protection, fair treatment and safety of all people. We believe our city will benefit from honest communication and respectful engagement between law enforcement and the communities they are charged to protect and serve.
To meet the challenges of battling implicit bias, systemic racism, police violence and faltering community trust we will work in partnership with the City of Flint and local law enforcement to elevate the voice and concerns of the community, drive decision making, policies, practices and procedures to create a long-lasting infrastructure to build safe communities.
Vision
To foster a just and equitable society nurtured by the collaboration of our community and our public safety partners
