District Policing Committee (DPC) Meetings

(Consent Decree, paragraphs 23 – 26)

“Working jointly, the Commission, CDP, and Community Relations Board (“CRB”), will work with the District Policing Committees (formerly called District Community Relations Committees) to facilitate regular communication and cooperation between CDP and community leaders at the local level.”

About DPC Meetings

Direct and ongoing engagement with the Cleveland Division of Police is vital in helping to increase safety on the streets and to improve the community’s relationship with the Cleveland Division of Police.

Each Cleveland police district regularly holds a community meeting called a District Policing Committee (DPC) meeting. These meetings provide all residents in a district with the opportunity to directly engage with local CDP officers, voice opinions on policing and crime, and network with neighbors and local community organizers.

DPC meetings are an important component of implementing the City’s Community and Problem-Oriented Policing (CPOP) Plan, which is a collaborative problem-solving approach between police and the community. Upcoming DPC meetings are listed on our community event calendar, or find your district’s meeting information here:
