Police Committee

The Police Committee is a Standing Committee of the City Council. It is made up of three members of the City Council. This committee meets as needed with the Chief of Police.

The Police Chief usually reviews major proposed police department acquisitions, personnel matters, budget matters, and department goals and objectives with the Police Committee prior to implementation or prior to bringing those matters before the entire Council.

Police Committee members may bring their concerns about traffic safety or enforcement of state laws and city ordinances to the attention of the Chief of Police.  Such input may be converted by staff into recommendations for new or revised ordinances or changes in department policy.  Members have no authority to dictate law enforcement policy to the Police Chief or any member of the Police Department.
