VIDEO: The Helena police and fire departments have started a new program to talk with the community about public safety funding.
While drinking your morning coffee, you can learn more about the public safety bond and mill levy from Helena police and fire chiefs.
"The biggest reason to have these meetings is to educate the public on why we think more officers and more firefighters are needed," said Helena's Chief of Police Brett Petty. The public safety leaders launched "Coffee with the Chiefs" Tuesday morning at Scenic Brew Coffee House.
Fire Chief Jon Campbell said, "The public needs to provide us the direction, their perspective, give us insight, and ask the important questions that maybe we failed to put out front. That way, we'll be in a better position to continue to answer those questions in the future."
