Brotherhood Brunch
Sunday, October 21, 10:00 AM
Speaker: Santa Cruz County Sheriff Jim Hart
Dealing with County-Wide Crime Trends, Gun Violence
and Issues of Mental Health
Santa Cruz County stretches from the solitude of Big Basin, through the burbs of Scotts Valley and Santa Cruz, to the rich farm fields of Watsonville. Our surroundings are beautiful and our populations are diverse, thereby fostering vibrant and engaged communities. Despite the beauty and energy of Santa Cruz County, we face significant problems: pockets of crime, gang violence and mental health challenges. Sheriff Jim Hart and his deputies communicate and collaborate openly with community members to address these pressing issues. Of particular current interest is the mental health crisis—its impact on our communities and how to manage calls for service involving troubled individuals. Please join us for our next brunch featuring Sheriff Hart as he presents his vision and approach for dealing with County issues. We'll enjoy our always delicious lox and bagel brunch, take care of a little Brotherhood business, followed by Sheriff Hart's talk. Recommended donation is $5 for Brotherhood members, $7 for non-Brotherhood members.
