The Joint Community
Police Partnership (JCPP) is a Hennepin County program that works collaboratively to enhance relationships between police and the community, specifically with immigrants, people of color, indigenous people, and faith communities. Each city tailors programming to their specific community.
The JCPP's mission is to enhance communication and understanding between law enforcement officers and multicultural residents of these cities. By building trust and communication between the police and community members, we will ultimately improve the safety and livability of our communities.
We are working together to build
safer communities.
Multicultural Advisory Committee (MAC)
The Multicultural Advisory Committee is a core component of the Joint Community Police Partnership (JCPP). The MAC is an engaged group of volunteers who advise the Crystal Police Department on how to better serve, communicate with, and understand the many cultures that reside in, work in, or visit the Crystal community. The MAC meets monthly with police personnel to discuss topics that are important to their communities, build mutual trust, and open up two-way communication.
MAC members represent Crystal's diverse cultural, professional and educational backgrounds. Members are asked to tap into their various skill sets and networks as part of their work in MAC; engage with neighbors, coworkers, students, clients or anyone else to learn how MAC can make progress on police community relations.
