The forum, which starts at 8:30 a.m., is open to the public and will be at the Main Library downtown.

During the open discussion, called “Building Safer Communities,” Mayor Collins, Chief Moton, and other city officials will answer questions about crime in Toledo, explain how to establish a neighborhood block watch program, and discuss other safety efforts. There also will be a live demonstration of the Toledo Police Department’s new interactive crime mapping tool.
