Sacramento Mayor Announces Plans For Police Reform

Sarah Mizes-Tan | Capital Public Radio News

​Mayor Darrell Steinberg has announced a proposal for police reform in the city of Sacramento that could include using $5 million from the city’s general fund to create a group of non-law enforcement officials to handle mental-health related 911 calls, and the creation of an inspector general position to look into police shootings and use-of-force incidents. 

His plan comes on the heels of recent demonstrations in Sacramento and nationally that occurred in solidarity with George Floyd. Both the killing of Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer and the way local police have acted with demonstrators have sparked discussions around police reform.
