Northside Highlight: Calvin M. Hall Public Safety Center

The Calvin M. Hall Public Safety Center, not only serves as a police station for the Northview Heights community, but as a community space! Residents use the space for meetings and to conduct programming. We spoke to Reggie Smith, the Public Safety Coordinator, to learn more about the center.

Q: Is there a particular memory that stands out for you? ​
