IMPD North District Commander Chris Bailey invited faith based groups from across the city’s high crime areas to a private meeting.
Pastor Orlando Jordan Junior was one of several who attended and discussed ideas on how to enhance the quality of life in rough neighborhoods, while also creating a trustworthy relationship between police and the public.
