City Council Delays Civilian Law Enforcement Review Board Resolution

a7e42bdf-2f25-49ba-b326-10e60c299266On August 4th, in a show of political pandering, The City Council postponed the final vote on important common sense legislation to strengthen the Civilian Law Enforcement Review Board (CLERB) until after the elections! This is simply unacceptable!

This motion was sponsored by Berlin Boyd and supported by the votes of William Boyd, Joe Brown, Kemp Conrad, Edmund Ford Jr, Reid Hedgepeth and Bill Morrison.

Harold Collins, Alan Crone, Janis Fullilove, Wanda Halbert, Jim Strickland, and Myron Lowery voted against the delays, and we thank them. However, we hope they are urging their colleagues to bring the vote back before elections as well.

PLEASE Call your Councilperson at (901) 636-6786 or email them and urge them to take the vote before the elections! Transparency & Accountability shouldn’t have to wait on political agendas. Our elected officials have failed to address these issues seriously and it’s now up to uto make sure police accountability is a priority!
