After approximately eight months of learning, discussion, and debate, the Commission today submitted their final report and recommendations to Mayor Tom Henry. <\/p>\n<p>The core of these recommendations is based on how to strengthen the community\u2019s trust in Fort Wayne\u2019s Police Department. The Commission identified three focus areas: Race Relations, Communication, and Departmental Transparency. By identifying and focusing attention on these efforts, the Commission believes these recommendations will help bring about accountability, transparency, and healing.<\/p>\n<p>Recommendations are summarized in an Executive Summary and are more fully outlined in the Report can be <a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/docs\/City_of_Fort_Wayne\/2021_03_09_Police_Reform_and_Racial_Justice_Report-final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">downloaded here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Fort Wayne City Councilwoman Michelle Chambers, co-chair said, \u201cThe community has to trust the Fort Wayne Police Department, and to get there we must acknowledge that some mistrust does currently exist. The recommendations provided within this report are a first step to modifying procedures to build that trust. I appreciate the work and support of the members of the Commission who have selflessly given countless hours to assist in this mission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Co-chair Joe Jordan stated, \u201cI believe this is a good, strong outcome to this process. We took a hard look at policies and procedures of the Fort Wayne Police Department. We didn\u2019t look at one instance, but at the culture, and the surrounding services that are provided by the Department. I appreciate Mayor Henry and Chief Reed allowing and supporting their staff in sharing knowledge with this group.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In delivering the report to Mayor Henry today, the Commission communicated its expectation of the community receiving regular updates on the implementation of the recommendations, beginning with an initial response and plan framework in the next 45 days.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Executive Summary and the Report, videos of the Commission meetings and a toolbox of general information also have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cityoffortwayne.org\/commission-on-police-reform-and-racial-justice.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">posted online<\/a> (look at the bottom of the page for the toolkit.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><center><br \/>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder<br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/2020\/12\/09\/police-reform-and-racial-justice-commn-update\/\">View more AFW posts on the Mayor&#8217;s Commission for Police Reform and Social Justice<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='fed704aa18eea18f2853f8b5dfef1d3c' data-image-id=\"199\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\" data-description=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"199\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71710.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry shakes hands with Allen County Councilman Paul Moss after the press conference announcing his decision to seek a referendum vote on the gaming issue.
