SAINT PAUL - Today, Mayor Melvin Carter announced three community meetings that will be held in November for community members to join conversations about public safety in Saint Paul.

“We will never accept violence as the norm.” said Mayor Melvin Carter. “Building the safe city we deserve will require new, proactive approaches to public safety, which must be built together.”
Events will be hosted by the Mayor's Office at these times and locations. They are free to attend and open to the public.
