The topic for the show: Race, Policing and Respect in New York State will air on November 17. It included conversations among regional leaders and experts including: Stephanie Miner – Mayor, City of Syracuse; Frank Fowler – Chief of Police, Syracuse City Police Department; Sam Rowser – Executive Director, OnPoint for College; Derrick Dorsey – President, Syracuse City School Board and Executive Director, Boys and Girls Club of Syracuse; Khalid Bey – Syracuse Common Councilor and (via Skype), Jens David Ohlin – Assoc.

The discussions centered on how we as a community can foster both safety and mutual respect between communities of color and the police at a time when mistrust and misunderstanding is prevalent on all sides.
