PRESS RELEASE
WASHINGTON, June 8, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In order to efficiently maintain public safety throughout a community, cities are recognizing that police must have open relationships and effective communication with immigrant populations. A new report from the National League of Cities' (NLC) Municipal Action for Immigrant Integration (MAII) program, Public Safety Programs for the Immigrant Community, highlights programs from across the country that incorporate successful public safety-immigrant relationships.

The report outlines four key suggestions for public safety programs: communication (create two-way information sharing between police and the immigrant community); outreach and community relations (provide formal and informal opportunities for police and immigrant interaction); diversity (improve representation and understanding within a city's public safety forces); and collaboration (organize partnerships to strengthen programs, outreach and resources).
