Lancaster City Public Safety: February 2023 First Friday Forum

On Friday, February 3, Hourglass was joined by Lancaster City Mayor Danene Sorace and new Lancaster City Police Chief Richard Mendez for a conversation about public safety in Lancaster City. We learned about Chief Mendez's background, initiatives around mental health and trauma-informed policing, the police accreditation process, police recruitment, and community engagement. Chief Mendez provided local crime statistics and shared concerns about illegal guns and fentanyl in our community.
