Stuart Launches Listening Tour
CHARLESTON, W.Va.
— United States Attorney Mike Stuart is taking a new approach to addressing public safety issues in West Virginia. Rather than just talking about the problems, Stuart is launching a series of community forums to listen to the concerns of local residents.
The forums, presented in partnership with West Virginia’s Substance Abuse Prevention Coalitions, will be held at locations throughout the Southern District of West Virginia. These community forums will invite open discussion on substance abuse, violent crime, school safety, and other public safety issues currently impacting local communities.
Stuart emphasized the importance of listening to the public and making sure the needs of citizens are being met. “I’m going to do a lot more listening than talking,” he said. “I want to hear the concerns of the public and to make sure we are doing all we can do to address the needs of our citizens.”
The community forums will be held in the following locations:
- Tuesday, October 2 – Cabell County – Holiday Inn Express, 3551 US Rt. 60 East, Barboursville
- Thursday, October 11 – Raleigh County – Raleigh County Convention Center, 200 Armory Drive, Beckley
- Tuesday, October 16 – Logan County – Word of Life Church, 518 Mud Fork Road, Logan
- Tuesday, October 23 – Putnam County – Teays Valley Church of the Nazerene, 3937 Teays Valley Road, Hurricane
Doors will open at 5:00pm for networking. For more information, please email Public Information Officer/Law Enforcement Coordinator Deanna Eder at deanna.eder@usdoj.gov.
Stuart’s listening tour is a significant step towards building trust between law enforcement and the community. By listening to the concerns of local residents, Stuart hopes to develop a more effective approach to addressing public safety issues in West Virginia.
The community forums are a chance for citizens to have their voices heard and to work together to create a safer and more secure community. We will continue to follow this story and provide updates on the outcome of the listening tour.
