waynesboroThe Waynesboro Police Department will be hosting a series of discussions with the community to address questions regarding police operations, training and the culture of the department.

The meetings will be held in the Waynesboro City Council chambers in the Charles T. Yancey Municipal Building, 503 W. Main St.

Attendance will be granted on a first come, first served basis.
