CPP on the Ground Community Visits
At a glance
- What: A program, renamed from earlier ideas of a community bus tour or ride-alongs, in which commissioners visit community organizations that work on policing-related issues, so they know the groups and their work.
- Where it stands (2026-10-08): Staff proposed a lighter format. Selected organizations are each featured for about 4 to 6 weeks, each with a designated liaison, and commissioners visit on their own time. The executive director would announce the first organization at the December 2 commission meeting.
- Why this format: It needs less staff time, avoids quorum problems and burdens host groups less. The draft list is a starting point of about 15 organizations (not final); there is no master list of community organizations yet.
- Concern: Groups without a physical space may be better invited to present at meetings.
