On June 22, 2020, City Council requested the types of policies, procedures and programs to be included in a performance audit of the Police Department. For the performance audit information requested by City Council, the recommended components are interactions with unsheltered individuals, interactions with individuals experiencing behavioral health crisis, community engagement, response to assemblies and crowds, department capacity, use of force, and officer accountability. On July 13, the Council was provided with the requested information and directed that the City Manager proceed. The City Manager issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Police Performance Audit and the RFP review committee is finalizing their recommendation. This action provides the budget appropriation authority to award the contract for the audit.
