Ward 7 Councilwoman Nikki Nice hosts Law Enforcement Policy Task Force community conversation, Sept. 7
08/27/2021
Join members of the Law Enforcement Policy Task Force and Ward 7 Councilwoman Nikki Nice in a community conversation about recent recommendations for improvement.
The meet-up is 6:30-8 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 7, at Pitts Park, 1920 N Kate Ave. in northeast Oklahoma City. Watch virtually at zoom.us/join using Meeting ID 847 4457 2338, passcode 393486.
Masks are recommended for in-person attendance. The event is planned to be outside, but an indoor space is available if inclement weather makes it necessary.
“This is among the last opportunities our residents will have to truly engage their thoughts and opinions on the future of law enforcement and community policing with the recommendations for Oklahoma City,” said Councilwoman Nice. “Please bring your lawn chairs and blankets to join us and be a part of this process.”
City attorneys and senior management will join Councilwoman Nice and task force members at the event.
The task force and the Community Policing Working Group are considering preliminary recommendations on various reforms and improvements in a report from 21 CP Solutions, a consultant.
The preliminary report is the product of more than a year of background work with dozens of community groups and hundreds of local leaders. Service professionals, lawmakers, activists, organizers, religious leaders, mental health experts, advocates for people experiencing homelessness and others participated in interviews, listening sessions, virtual meetings and more.
The task force and working group will provide their own feedback to 21 CP, which will also consider the latest public feedback before presenting a final report this fall.
The final report will eventually be presented to the City Council for possible adoption. The City Manager and Police Department would be responsible for implementing what the City Council approves.
Many recommendations will be implemented quickly, but some are likely to have operational, budgetary, labor and legal issues to navigate, which will take time.
