The meeting included a public comment session where community members raised concerns regarding the city's contract with Flock Safety, highlighting issues with automated license plate readers, potential privacy violations, data sharing with federal agencies, and the perceived lack of accountability and reliability of the technology. The independent police auditor presented a proposed change to the process for reviewing and reporting on police use-of-force investigations. This proposed framework aims to categorize recommendations by subject matter and analyze them for recurring patterns and trends over a semi-annual reporting period, rather than reviewing each case individually, while ensuring that cases involving disagreements with police department findings remain a high priority.
