Community Police Academy Change
Posted: Mon Mar 06, 2023 4:17 pm
Colleagues,
During my office’s review of CM Kelly’s Citizen Police Academy resolution (item 26 on this week’s agenda), I learned that APD hopes to change the name of the academy to the Community Police Academy. This change was designed to align with the general order related to maintaining an impartial attitude towards citizenship status.
I checked with our APD liaison, who confirmed that the department would prefer the title Community Police Academy. In light of this information, I propose the following amendment which would correct the out-of-date name used in the original resolution.

CM Kelly, I hope you’ll consider accepting this amendment as friendly. I also want to extend my deep gratitude to the Austin Police Department for this positive change in language, as well as to the APD staff who assisted me in my inquiry.
Saludos,
Chito
