Community members were invited to attend Friday’s forum at the Matt Dishman Community Center. Those who weren’t able to make it were encouraged to weigh in online.

The PPB said it’s also preparing a Request for Proposals to submit to vendors in order to compare different body camera systems. After observing demonstrations, the bureau will choose its top 2 picks to use in its 6-month pilot test phase.

The pilot test period will involve officers from the central precinct and traffic division. After the test period is over, a decision will be made on whether to implement body cameras bureau-wide.

A third and final town hall will be held on the issue Feb. 28 from 5:30 to 7:30 at the First Unitarian Church.
