The Great Falls/Cascade County Crimestoppers are hosting a forum at 6 p.m. Aug. 23 on the proposed public safety levy.
The forum will be at the Alliance for Youth facility at 3220 11th Ave. S. and focus on the levy and how crime affects the city’s youth.
Scheduled speakers include city staff from the public safety departments, a certified substance abuse prevention specialist and the juvenile detention center administrator, among others.
The event includes time for questions from the audience.
The public safety operational levy and infrastructure bond are on the Nov. 7 ballot for city public safety services.
The county passed a public safety levy in 2022 for the sheriff’s office and county attorney’s office.
The forum will be live streamed on the Crimestoppers Facebook page.
