The City of Akron has launched a review of its use of force practices in collaboration with the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) and the Akron Police Department. The review process involves the collection of feedback from officers, councilmembers, business owners, and community organizers. In recent weeks, the PERF team has held in-person sessions to gather public input regarding community perceptions of use of force incidents. Community members who wish to share their comments can email the PERF team at akron@policeforum.org. The initiative is part of the city's ongoing efforts to evaluate and improve its use of force policies.
