GCC Community Talks

A Chat With Chief Snow

Germantown Community Coalition Season 5 Episode 31

Join hosts Kim Grant and Tony Keys as they welcome Germantown Police Chief Mike Snow back to the studio for a conversation on Student Resource Officers (SROs) and community relationships with the Germantown Police Department. We are grateful to Chief Snow for sitting down with COMMUNITY TALKS and his willingness to tackle tough subjects. Finding ways to talk with one another is key to bridging divides and bringing about understanding of different perspectives.
