🗣️ Community Voices Needed!
There is an open seat coming up on the Police Commission, and we’re encouraging residents who care about transparency, accountability, and community safety to apply.

Our community is strongest when everyday people have a seat at the table. This is an opportunity to help shape fair, equitable policing and ensure all voices—especially those often unheard—are represented.

✅ If you believe in community-centered leadership
✅ If you want to help guide local safety and policy
✅ If you value accountability and collaboration

…then we encourage YOU to apply.

📩 Learn more and submit your application through the City’s website
(https://www.ci.chisholm.mn.us/vertical/sites/%7B89A03091-259E-44A3-B82B-4ACB22D45D19%7D/uploads/APPLICATION_FOR_POLICE_COMMISSION.pdf)
or by contacting City Hall.
Let’s make sure our Police Commission reflects the people it serves. Your voice matters. 💙🤝
