In June 2020, following the murder of George Floyd, the Chapel Hill Town Council passed a resolution on Developing New Community Approaches to Improve Racial Equity and Public Safety. This resolution helped to form the Reimagining Community Safety Task Force, which presented an update at last week’s Chapel Hill Town Council meeting.
The twentieth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks is Saturday. 97.9 The Hill spoke with local first responders in Orange County to hear their stories from that day and how it has impacted emergency preparedness since.
The Chapel Hill Police Department is working with the Campus and Community Coalition to identify bars and restaurants which serve intoxicated individuals contributing to the potential public safety threat of impaired driving.
