Know Your Rights Program

Knowing your rights can help you to protect yourself and your community. OPA offers "Know Your Rights" workshops to equip Grand Rapidians with the knowledge they need to react safely when those rights are violated by the City's public safety Departments. These year-round workshops are designed to be interactive and allow participants to share their experiences, voice concerns, and ask questions.
