District Councils
District Councils will be created in each of the City’s 22 police districts, and will be comprised of three people, elected in regular municipal elections. Members will serve four-year terms.
The District Councils will have several key roles: Build stronger connections between the police and the community at the district level, where the community is a true partner in making the neighborhood safer; Hold monthly public meetings, where residents can work with the police on local initiatives, and raise and work to address concerns about policing in the district; Work with the community to get input on police department policies and practices; Work with the District Commander and community on new community policing initiatives; Ensure a channel of communication for regular community input to the Commission, including by meeting citywide with all District Council members to propose priorities for the Commission, make policy recommendations, and identify policing trends and concerns; and Expand restorative justice practices in the district.
