Purpose

The Chief’s Advisory Committee emphasizes cooperative efforts between the community and the police department to identify and recommend solutions to issues of significant community concern including the defeat of social injustice, bias, bigotry, inequity and racism in the community.

Members

The Chief’s Advisory Committee consists of as many community members as City Council deems necessary to provide valued advice, perspectives, recommendations and feedback on significant police-community relations issues.
