“Most people meet us on what may be one of the hardest days of their lives,” Chief Jason West said. “An open house lets residents come to us on a different kind of day, ask questions, see how we work and get to know the officers serving their neighborhoods. The more residents understand about this department, the better we are able to serve them.”
