On February 22, 2020, the Office of Police Oversight (OPO), the Equity Office, and the Office of Innovation hosted an event to listen to and gather community feedback about the findings of the January 2020 report.
At this event, 56 community members, 20 City of Austin employees, and 10 Austin Police Department (APD) officers met to discuss the report. Community members shared their lived experiences of policing in Austin, perspectives on the data, and ideas to enhance accountability. Notetakers collected the information shared during the event.
