During a recent government meeting, officials discussed ongoing policy reviews and the importance of transparency in law enforcement practices. The review process is continuous, adapting to changes in case law and specific incidents that may highlight areas for improvement. One official suggested establishing an annual or biannual timeline for policy reviews, allowing community members to track progress and engage with the process through a dedicated online platform.

Additionally, the conversation touched on the creation of a community academy aimed at fostering understanding between law enforcement and residents. A recommendation was made to rename it to a \"community academy\" to be more inclusive of all residents, including non-citizens and undocumented individuals, thereby encouraging broader participation and reducing apprehension towards law enforcement.

Concerns were also raised regarding the affordability of living in Milwaukee for police officers, which could impact their connection to the community they serve. Officials acknowledged these challenges and noted that recent contract negotiations had addressed some cost-of-living issues. The meeting concluded with a commitment to further explore these topics in future discussions, emphasizing the importance of community engagement and the need for law enforcement to reflect the communities they serve.
