>> i figured it would be a good opportunity to bring more dialogue with community members. also, an opportunity for us to explain some of our hiring processes and the need to have the community engaged with the law enforcement and become law enforcement officers. i think it's very important that community members come out and they be that image that they want to see. so that's why we created it. >> we've had several town hall discussions right here. that was part of your brainchild. why is it is important to get people of color into this position?

did you work with that also? >> yes. not only did i sit down and talk with a career -- the recruiter for the oakland pd, i talked with the alameda county sheriff. they told me to put in my application and sell yourself. at the same time, it's not even just selling yourself. it's trying to build your career. >> thank you very much. it's cuts with the cops until 7:00. they plan to have more, burr it's a good process and -- but it's a good process and it's continuing the conversation, as you said. >> it is such a great idea. this is the third one you've been to now. i'm just curious, what are some of the conversations that the minority community is having with the police there? what are they talking about? >> reporter: this one was different. this was an opportunity to learn about law enforcement and get a job, but the previous ones we've had were just a lot of things that are facing the community, whether it's talking about stops, whether it's talking about officer involved shootings. it's just a lot of different things that the community, that we're all seeing on television, getting it out, flushing it out and hearing from every side so people can understand on both sides. this is what police are doing. this is what it means for them. but also for the community to make sure the officers know they are people, too. if they have been very up front, very open and very honest with those dialogues. >> it is just great to see that one-on-one dialogue. paul chambers tonight. thank you. coming up, a warning tonight from police about an attempted robber disguised as a pest control worker. am i actually pushing these guys who ran out of gas six miles on a lonely highway?
