The department says it is a new series where Chief Avery Moore will respond to community questions.
"We will say, 'Sir, mam, we need you to partner with us, to help us help you keep you out of jail. So these here are some services that we can offer.’ So, I would have somewhere there, for example, from social services maybe someone there from the court system," said Moore.
