Town hall focuses on use-of-force policies
Friday, April 16, 2021 by Tai Moses
The Community Police Review Commission is inviting all community members to a public town hall to discuss use-of-force policies, public safety and the 8 Can’t Wait campaign, a national movement to reduce police brutality. Austin’s Office of Police Oversight recently launched the Reimagining Community Safety Policies, an effort to rewrite of APD policies grounded in 8 Can’t Wait recommendations and feedback from the community. The town hall will feature representatives from the Office of Police Oversight and Campaign Zero (the founders of 8 Can’t Wait). Wednesday, April 21, 6-8 p.m. RSVP here.
