SAN JOSE — The San Jose police department has launched an outreach and educational video series to be distributed in various foreign languages as part of an effort to battle misinformation online and foster more community connections.
The department plans to release videos on scams, how to report missing persons, crime prevention, navigating police interactions and recruiting. SJPD says they will work with community organizations on future topics. “When that gets spread from person to person, if it’s not accurate, it’s very hard for us to change someone’s mind when they’ve heard it from a source that they trust. So our idea was, if we can present information that we know is accurate, in a language that someone understands and that they’re comfortable hearing it in, it will help us to get the proper information to people,” Joseph said.
Sam Ho, a community activist and vice president of the Thousand Oaks Neighborhood Association, supported the production of the videos, calling it an investment in the city’s people of color.
