MIAMI – The Miami-Dade County Community Relations Board (CRB), under the Office of Community Advocacy, will hold its monthly Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement Committee meeting at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 26, in the second floor Press Room of the Stephen P. Clark Center, 111 NW 1st Street, Miami, Florida. Public Defender Carlos Martinez will update the board on Amendment 4. Miami-Dade Police Department will address the recent shootings in South Dade and Miami Beach Police Department will discuss their Spring Break plans.

The Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement Committee brings together professionals in this subject matter and community leaders of good will to establish an agenda for enhanced relations with the community. All meetings of the Community Relations Board are open to the public, and residents are encouraged to attend and learn more about the work of the board.

The Community Relations Board was founded in 1963 and its primary mission is to intervene and contain community tensions, as quickly as possible. The secondary mission of the Community Relations Board is to work proactively to identify and relieve intergroup conflicts before crises arise; to develop bridges of understanding and support programs in the community; to foster understanding, communication, and mutual respect; to develop and support local or city based Community Relations Boards throughout the county; and to assure that resources are in place to respond to community crisis.

For more information, please contact Miami-Dade County Community Relations Board Director Shirley Plantin, EJD at 305-375-1406.

The Office of Community Advocacy is charged with making Miami-Dade County "One Community" that embraces our diverse and unique population. Subscribe to our YouTube channel and follow @AdvocacyMDC on, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
