Stay ConnectedUWOPD on the mic is a podcast designed to create relationships with our community members. Policing is successful when strong relationships are built between police personnel and community members. We believe this can be accomplished in part by educating community members on laws, law enforcement processes, important safety information, and by having some really great authentic discussions about what’s happening in our community.
Thanks for tuning in!
