If the plan is adopted by City Council, it will also include other features such as a new performance metric system to help identify officer misconduct, heightened efforts to recruit offers from diverse backgrounds and a new online tool where community members can rate their interactions with Boulder officers.
The Reimagine Policing Plan is set to come before City Council for a public hearing and vote on Sept. 7. Anyone interested in testifying in person or virtually at the public hearing must sign up in advance at . The registration form will open at 8 a.m. Sept. 1 and close at 2 p.m. Sept. 6.
