GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- We expect to get an update from Grand Rapids police Wednesday after the department spent a year working on a plan to address its policies and procedures.
Over the past 12 months, the task force has played an important role in the city’s efforts to increase transparency and build trust between the community and the police department. The task force was tasked with reviewing all police department policies and procedures and revising those that might lead to disparate outcomes.
Members of the Policy and Procedure Task Force will present their final report at a meeting Wednesday night after nearly 40 recommendations were made to improve community and police relations.
The department has been working on a few different elements: hiring and staffing, training, community policing, and youth interaction. Just last week. the department was criticized for briefly handcuffing a 12-year-old girl during an investigation.
The meeting is open to the public and starts at 7 p.m. at the Grand Rapids Public Schools Parent University on Fuller Avenue.

The policy of pretending to smell weed to violate your 4th amendment right to privacy will be ending soon if enough people vote yes on Prop 1.

Law abiding citizens did not criticize police for taking precautions in volatile situations.In bad neighborhoods,when there are reports of gunfire,even 12 year old girls cannot be dismissed as possible suspects.Cops have been shot by kids before,either accidentally or on purpose.The one time cops let a 12 year old go unchecked could cost them their lives.

It doesn’t matter what the police do. These people are taught at a young age that the police are the problem. No responsibility for their own actions. Because their all good people that neva donuffin wrong
