Have you ever wondered: “How is the dedication to
community engagement reflected in the Cleveland Police Department’s
current budget?”
Do you have a handle on: “What is the CPRB (Civilian Police Review
Board) and what is its function?”
In the moment—when you or a loved one comes face-to-face with
Cleveland Police Department policies—will you know: “Are body
cameras used by all officers, and what is the protocol for turning
body cameras on and off?”
These were just a few of the questions from community members just
like you during the March 10, 6:00pm, public meeting sponsored by
the local chapters of the United Way and NAACP on the Cleveland
Consent Decree. The Wednesday evening input meeting theme was on
Cleveland Police Departmentaccountability, transparency, and
oversight, but it was not your last chance to have an impact on the
Consent Decree and how it is implemented. This was only the third in
a monthly 10-part meeting series to which you are not only
invited—the convening organizations believe your input, your
concerns, and your questions are vital to the success of the
discussion series.
The next meeting is at 6:00 pm on April 14, and the theme will be
Citizen Complaints and the Office of Professional Standards.
To answer the call for your input, your concerns, and your
questions,register for any of the eight remaining Consent Decree
public meetings by visiting unitedwaycleveland.org.
