The Community and Police Trust Initiative (CPTI) was created by City Manager Ed Zuercher in March 2015. The mission of the CPTI was to build on the work of the Community Engagement and Outreach Task Force to further enhance police and community relations through continued dialog and partnership. As a result of the CPTI, and in an effort to enhance transparency and information sharing pertaining to several aspects of the Police Department and its operations, several yearly, bi-annually and quarterly reports regarding topics of noted interest are included on this page.
