Request for APD-DPS Collaboration Briefing (April 11th)

[Jose Velasquez]

Dear Colleagues and City Manager,

I would like to request a briefing on the Texas DPS Partnership with the Austin Police Department during the April 11th work session. As we move towards collaboration with the state to address staffing shortages, I believe we owe our communities transparency and full understanding of how this partnership will work to uphold Austin’s values.

Thank you,
Council Member José Velásquez

I completely agree with CM Velasquez and would also like a briefing on the matter at the April 11th work session.
