Harp, Esserman Bring Community-Policing Story To Clinton Center

A former president and soon-to-be-former top federal crime-fighter — along with mayors from around the country — are to hear New Haven’s community-policing story.

Mayor Toni Harp and Police Chief Dean Esserman are bringing the story to the Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, Arkansas. The U.S. Conference of Mayors is holding a two-day conference, on Wednesday and Thursday, on community policing.

Other speakers include former President Bill Clinton, Attorney General Eric Holder (who has announced his plans to retire from his post later this year), and other mayors and top cops from around the control.

Harp said before leaving on Tuesday afternoon that she plans to discuss Youth Stat, the data-sharing and strategy sessions she launched bringing together police, school, probation, and other officials to concentrate on students most at risk of getting into trouble. Esserman plans to speak about the police department’s work with the Yale Child Study Center in helping kids who have experienced or witnessed violence.

The trip will include not just talking, but lots of listening, Harp said. I’m really excited about it. It’s good to learn from other cities about what they’ve done to take community-based policing to the next level.”
