In addition to reaching out to Washington, Buttigieg has said his city would review and request public input on policing policies, evaluate how officers are trained and approach the need to hire more African American officers with a “new sense of urgency,” an area in which he said during last week’s televised presidential debate that he had failed to get the job done. The mayor also said he would seek more community input on appointments to the city’s public safety board that oversees policing issues and disciplinary matters while beefing up funding for that body.
