This October, the Richland County Neighborhood Improvement Program (NIP) will celebrate National Community Planning Month at NIP's 20th annual Planning Conference.

This year's conference will focus on the vital issues of public safety and law enforcement/community relations. Through sessions hosted by local law enforcement agencies as well as government and community organizations, attendees can learn strategies and resources for keeping their neighborhoods safe. Find out how community members can be more involved with law enforcement, so we can work together for a safer Richland County.

Sheriff Leon Lott will deliver the keynote address for the conference.

This event is free and open to the public. Lunch will be provided.
