Tempe Builds Trust Through Library Oversight | Mesa News

Tempe’s taking bold steps to rebuild trust with its community by launching a new subcommittee focused on public safety oversight at the library. This group will examine key recommendations from past task forces, including 911 protocols, de-escalation tactics, and use-of-force policies — all in response to growing demands for accountability after recent incidents involving police and tech like Flock Safety’s license plate readers. The city is also spotlighting its existing citizen review panel, inviting new volunteers to join, and empowering residents with real influence over how law enforcement is held responsible. Led by Councilmember Bobby Nichols and including Mayor Corey Woods and Councilmember Brooke St. George, this initiative aims to foster transparency, deepen community-police relationships, and ensure policies serve everyone fairly.
