The City of Tacoma’s Citizen Review Panel (CRP) will be hosting several community meetings in the coming months. The series of meetings provide an opportunity for citizens to share their thoughts, concerns or input about policy related to the Tacoma Police Department. They will also learn about the panel and the conduct complaint management system.
The second in the series of CRP meetings will start at 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 5 at Mcllvaigh Middle School located at 1801 E. 56th St. The proceeding meetings will be held through the first of the year.
The Citizen Review Panel was formed by the City of Tacoma City Council as a body to provide advice to the City Council, City Manager and the Chief of Police on policy matters relating to the Police Department. The panel was also directed to promote public awareness of Police Department policies and issues as well as the Citys conduct complaint management system.
