[Durl forwarded this to CUCPJ, and I forward to PEACE. I am not sure
who labels the training as "non-biased", but it is important that we
know about this. -karen medina]

Good afternoon.

On February 16th, 17th, and 18th, the City of Urbana will be hosting a
series of workshops facilitated by Ondra Berry.  Mr. Berry is a
nationally-recognized facilitator who has spent years helping
communities improve police-community relations.  The workshops are
intended to reinforce the Urbana Police Department’s ongoing
commitment to enforcing the law in a fair and unbiased manner.  The
itinerary is as follows:
