What the F.O.P. ? How does the UPD recruit? Does the Millcreek Precinct of the UPD have any officers from the refugee community? How does the UPD set policy and can members of the community ask for changes? Could a George Floyd-type incident occur if officers were following UPD policy, training and procedure? Does de-escalation training occur and at what frequency? For answers to these questions and many many more, click here to view the video of the town hall. (The meeting starts at minute 12). Tuesday's Town Hall was the last of a series of events since last summer, that included the City's first Town Hall in August, meetings with a group of volunteers and residents led by City Councilmember Bev Uipi, and a field visit training that the UPD led with a dozen citizens in October. The field visit included a workshops on the UPD's budgeting and training, and a simulation of real-life situations that police officers face on a daily basis. The purposes of the town halls, the meetings, and the field visit were to ---PAGE BREAK--- respond to the community's concerns raised after the tragic death of George Floyd and to improve relationships between the community and the UPD. While it appears that Millcreek and the UPD have been doing things right, citizens are invited to continue to engage with the City and with UPD with questions and concerns. The Council will address issues as they arise and intends to keep the citizen working group informed and involved. A town hall will be scheduled for January 2022 to talk about progress and changes if needed. Many thanks to the UPD leaders, Councilwoman Bev Uipi, and the volunteer citizens group that have all worked diligently over the last several months on these issues. ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- Teenagers don't come with instructions!
