Public Safety Transformation
The City Council has proposed an amendment to the City Charter to be referred to voters in November. If approved by voters, that amendment would create a new Community Safety & Violence Prevention Department and remove the Police Department from the Charter.
The proposal has been referred to the Charter Commission for its review as required by state law. The deadline to submit a ballot question this year is August 21.
