News from Glendale Mayor Bryan Kennedy
Greetings, Glendale residents and businesses,

As the nation starts to adapt to the COVID-19 climate, new challenges face the country. The death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police brought an avalanche of protests and marches to big cities and small towns across the country. As a community, we are sensitive to the circumstances surrounding the unrest. The City of Glendale has issued two statements regarding police brutality. One is from the Glendale Common Council and the other is from the Glendale Police Department.

I commend the Glendale Police Department for engaging in the community and in our neighborhoods in a way that builds confidence and trust. State Senator Lena Taylor recently applauded Glendale’s Chief for the manner in which our police officers have engaged with the Black Lives Matter protesters as the marches have moved through our city. Our police strive to ease conflict, dialogue with residents, and resolve situations peacefully. Glendale is a leader in police use-of-force reforms and is in full compliance with the eight categories of the Eight Can’t Wait ( https://8cantwait.org/ ) campaign. 

A special thank you and note of admiration for our Glendale businesses. I applaud the way you took on COVID and adapted your operations. I am especially grateful that you have re-opened your doors to everyone in our community, and that you treat our diverse community members with dignity and respect. 

In Community,
Bryan Kennedy, Ph.D.
Mayor, City of Glendale
