• Several community members who attended the Gang Prevention Town Halls were re-living experiences that they had with the Toronto Police Service - some being 20 years ago. • These experiences, alongside adopted experiences from their social circle, were continually passed on to their children, friends, and family - and cycled through their additional circles respectively. • As a result, community members had negative views of police officers without having a single encounter, experience, or interaction with any police officer at any point in time. • These unaddressed cycles of experience directly lead to poor relationships between the police, gang impacted communities, and victims of crime. • If addressed effectively, this will decrease the levels of anxiety, paranoia, and distrust that impacted communities may have adopted towards the police. • Many community members were unaware of the developments in police protocols, training, education, and outreach to increase service delivery and adjust to the voice of the community. • While some conversations became hostile and aggressive, the emotions eventually subsided and a healthy, constructive, an appreciated integrative conversation prevailed that focused on the future, safety, and individual success of all those impacted.
