Why should you consider forgoing the Flyers' season opener tonight and instead attend your local police district's public meeting on misconduct and other issues? Just reread Andrew Thompson's February cover on the lack of oversight within the Philly Police Department, and all the troubles that leads to — you'll get the idea.

There will be a meeting in each police district tonight, from 6 to 8 p.m, unless otherwise noted. Everything from police misconduct to quality-of-life issues is on the table. Along with Police Department commanders, there will be also be members from Internal Affairs, the Police Advisory Commission, the Police Clergy and the Police District Advisory Councils in attendance. So if you something to say about cops, now's the time. Click the jump to find out where the meetings are being held (and if you don't know which district you live in, you can find out here):
