“The nation is going through a reckoning because, in the past, officers were too infrequently held accountable for bad policing. While it isn’t pretty, this is the change citizens are demanding. My administration has identified funding for body cameras and expects to have them by the end of the summer. We are also analyzing existing funds to start a crisis intervention program that will allow counselors to help address emergency mental health calls. Reform takes work, but I am committed to that work.” -- Mayor Adrian Perkins
