Get The Scoop with The Chief
On a recent afternoon at Iverson Mall, the "Get the Scoop with the Chief
Event brought together community members and local law enforcement for a day of dialogue and connection. The event, designed to foster positive relationships between Prince George’s County residents and the police force, was a family-friendly occasion that featured local vendors, ice cream giveaways, and meaningful conversations with Police Chief Malik Aziz.
COWOC’s Violence Interrupters were actively involved, using this opportunity to engage with the community in their ongoing mission to reduce violence in the area. Their presence provided a bridge between law enforcement and the local population, particularly youth, as they worked to create an environment of safety and trust. The Violence Interrupters shared information about their work, offered resources for those affected by violence, and fostered discussions on how to build a more peaceful community.
By participating in events like “Get the Scoop with the Chief,” COWOC continues to lead efforts in promoting peace, healing, and community collaboration. The event served as a reminder of the importance of open communication and partnership in addressing critical issues such as public safety and violence prevention.
