2 Greetings, Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend today s Public Safety Summit, the first in a series designed to help us work together to address crime in an effort to improve the overall quality of life here in Winnebago County. The purpose of this event is to bring together experts in the criminal justice field to share with us their best practices and their creative solutions as they face many of the same problems that we are experiencing here in our county. We thank them for giving of their time and sharing their expertise. By bringing together members of the law enforcement and criminal justice community, as well as chief elected officials from throughout the county, it is our hope that we can forge even better working relationships to deal with the crime-related issues before us. Over the next few months, we will be soliciting ideas for future summits; ideas such as Addressing Addiction and Mental Health in our Community and Alternatives to Incarceration and Re-Entry Programs. Please forward any ideas to Dave Peterson at dpeterson@wincoil.us ( ). It s going to take all of us working together from the neighborhood watch groups, to the schools, to the villages, to our dedicated police forces to create a safer community. Let s commit to working together until we achieve that goal. Thanks again, Scott H. Christiansen, Chairman Winnebago County Board
