The September 22 Town Meeting will be broadcast from 7-8 p.m., immediately preceding the national telecast of Seeking Solutions. Seeking Solutions in Rhode Island will concentrate on three areas of grassroots citizen crime prevention successes in the Ocean State. They are violence in the workplace, violence in schools, and community involvement with police activities. Community leaders, citizens, and faculty will have an on-site moderator and will be connected to the live telecast via the wonders of modern technology. Volunteer Opportunity LRI is looking for alumni interested in facilitating several regional discussion groups that will be conducted in conjunction with the televised Town Meetings.
Input is integrated with the telecasts via email.

The national Safe Place office provides standardized Safe Place materials including signs, site manuals, student cards, posters, brochures, and short Safe Place videos. There are numerous activities through LINC where alumni can get involved.
