Public Safety Committee - Workshop
Posted: Fri Jun 26, 2020 3:23 pm
Posting on behalf of Council Member Flannigan:
Colleagues,
In the ongoing efforts of keeping our policing reform work moving forward, the Public Safety Committee plans to conduct a series of workshops. These workshops will convene as a committee meeting but be focused as an opportunity to facilitate important discussions between community experts and officers working out the details of what reform can mean. The objective is to bring to the forefront an open and public conversation about the challenges we will face implementing these big structural changes.
The first Public Safety Committee Workshop will be Thursday, July 2, 2020 at 2pm, and the agenda has just been posted at http://austintexas.gov/department/city- ... 02-psc.htm. The subject of this workshop will be “General Orders & Tactics” and will bring together officers with focused community experts without the presence of the Chief or the City Manager. The workshop will be broadcast on ATXN. All council members are of course welcome to attend. However, please note that format of this workshop will not be one where the Committee Members are leading the conversation, but rather one where we are listening.
As we continue learning in this work, we may conduct workshops around different areas of budget reforms and metrics/data. I will be sure to keep everyone informed through the message board as these come up. Tentatively we are scheduling additional meetings for July 9, 20 and August 17.
If you plan to attend next week, please alert Patricia Bourenane. Thank you again for everyone’s support and interest in this important work.
Jimmy
