Body
WHEREAS, the City of Madison created the Madison Police Department Policy and Procedure Review Ad Hoc Committee (Resolution File #37863) to review policies, procedures, culture and training of the Madison Police Department by hiring an expert in community policing, law, problem oriented policing, racial disparities, restorative justice and implicit bias; and
WHEREAS, that Resolution provided a timeline requiring that the Ad Hoc Committee present its recommendations to the Common Council at its July 2016 meeting; and
WHEREAS, the Ad Hoc Committee held its first meeting on November 18, 2015; and
WHEREAS, in order to thoroughly address their mission, and due to the late start date of the committee, the Madison Police Department Policy and Procedure Review Ad Hoc Committee will not complete its work by July 2016;
