The Rapid Response committee discussed integrating trained neutral observers into the commission's current rapid-response protocol, a step members said is intended to improve community-level responses to volatile events. Committee membership listed in the meeting materials includes Miller, Chair Jim Glover and Jamie Jensen; the Neutral Observers ad hoc committee has an ending date recorded as 12-31-2026.
Commissioners framed the change as shifting from ad-hoc assistance toward a formalized, trained corps of observers who could be deployed to help defuse confrontations. The topic remained in the discussion stage; no funding or operational mandate was adopted at the March 5 meeting.
