- Description:
- Hosted by Robbyn Fuller. Segment one: Community Oriented Policing, 0:00-6:40. Civic Magazine rebroadcasts a national CNN piece on the Savannah Police Department's Community Oriented Policing (COP) initiative reported on by Brian Cabell. The initiative strives to build positive relationships between local communities and police, and involves more beat cops out in the community and an emphasis on solving problems rather than arresting the same people repeatedly. Savannah police are also increasingly using horses and bicycles to appear more approachable to Savannahians. Police officers featured in the segment include Lorenzo Brown, Todd Rhodes, Deborah Evans, and Corp. Gilbert Walker. Speakers shown discussing the policy and policing are President Bill Clinton, Attorney General Janet Reno, Neighborhood Association President Leroy Jenkins, Community Policing Author Robert Friedmann, police volunteer Willie Washington, Neighborhood Activist Naomi Brown, Police Chief David Gellatly, and President of the National Association of Chiefs of Police Dennis Martin. Segment two: Olympic beautification, 6:40-15:35. Civic Magazine covers an extensive beautification project through joint cooperation of the city of Savannah, Chatham County, and local residents. The goal of the project is to help prepare Savannah to host the sailing events of the 1996 Olympics and beautify the community for years to come. The project committee is headed by Alderman Elizabeth Sheehan. Interviewees on the project are Alderman Elizabeth Sheehan, Georgia Senator Tom Coleman, Jr., Preservation Officer Beth Reiter, Alderman Gwen Goodman, and Susie Myers of the Beautification Committee. Segment three: Kiss a pig, 15:35-22:53. Hosted by interns Donica Kennon and Marsha Shade. Civic Magazine covers the American Diabetes Association's Kiss a Pig campaign, because insulin initially was taken from the pancreas of a pig. Savannah Alderman and Mayor Pro Tempore Floyd Adams, Jr., kisses a pig named Sweet Thing to raise money for the American Diabetes Association. A festival is held in conjunction with the Kiss a Pig Campaign to raise more money for diabetes, which featured a dunk tank, games, and live music. Richelle Durst, Chairman of Kiss a Pig, is interviewed regarding the campaign. At the city council meeting next week, the council discusses the success of the campaign.
