Public Safety Advisory Board | Final Report 

July 2022
The Public Safety Advisory Board was resolved on June 27, 2022 after 72 hours of meetings over 18 months. A final report on the Board’s accomplishments is available now. 

The creation of a Public Safety Advisory Board is one idea that grew from community input and Council discussion in response to the killing of George Floyd. This limited-duration Board reviewed public safety practices, with similar community input and draft frameworks anticipated for all other areas of city operations.
