Dignity and Respect in Our Community

“We, the undersigned demand that all members of the Rochester Police Department (RPD) actively participate in a community based racial justice training. The participants of the training will consist of members of RPD and City of Rochester residents, reflective of the demographics served.

Why is this important?

We are serving notice that as citizens of the City of Rochester we deserve to be treated with dignity and respect irrespective of our race, color, creed, national origin, sexual orientation, age or any other factors. We are further requesting that any and all members of the RPD whose behavior violates the Code of Ethics, be held accountable for their actions as provided by the laws governing the department.”
