Austinites who are avidly following the city’s work on the police reform initiative known as “reimagining public safety” may be interested in viewing this recording of a virtual conversation held Tuesday in which the Office of Police Oversight shares “the preliminary findings of independent consultants Kroll & Associates’ assessment of the Austin Police Department’s training academy.” As the Reimagining Public Safety blog posted, “Kroll’s work is part of City Council’s Resolution 66, which includes a comprehensive evaluation of the APD training academy curriculum, training, culture, and recommendations for improvement.” In a Q&A session following the presentation, 40-plus community members weigh in with their feedback, which will find its way into Kroll’s final report, due in mid-April. It’s not too late to comment on this material; if you’d like to add your two cents about the APD training academy, leave your feedback here.
