Published 1 week, 2 days ago
Description

Austin Polices new use of force tracking system reveals a decrease in reported incidents, aligning with national standards.

The revised data shows no significant racial disparities when considering factors like armed status or warrants. Council members support the change but seek more detailed breakdowns, particularly for homeless individuals. The new system aims to promote smarter force reduction and clearer accountability.
