Dr. Helfgott and student research analysts are working on this year's dialogue sessions. Undergraduate students Elaria Zakhary, Zachary Dar and Quinn Priebe and graduate students Ana Carpenter and Eden Sedgwick co-facilitate the dialogues and complete the research and reports. The BTB Community-Police Dialogues offer community members opportunity to meet and learn about the new SPD recruits. The BTB Community-Police Dialogues are part of the Seattle Police Department's Micro-Community Policing Plans. The dialogues engage new recruits in SPD's "Before the Badge" Training program in conversation with community members. This is an opportunity for the community to be part of the SPD training process and for recruits to learn about the neighborhoods they will serve and build relationships with community members early in their training.
