  • The proposed audit comes after multiple high profile officer-involved shootings over the last few years, including the deaths of Jayland Walker and Jazmir Tucker.

The Akron City Council is currently deliberating over a proposal to allocate nearly $700,000 for an external audit of the Akron Police Department's use of force policy. This initiative comes in the wake of the controversial police shooting of Jayland Walker, which has sparked significant community unrest and calls for police reform. The audit, proposed by Councilman Shammas Malik, aims to enhance transparency and accountability within the police department by examining its policies, training, and practices related to use of force. Despite the proposal's intent to foster trust and improve policing practices, there is contention among council members regarding the cost and the necessity of an external audit, with some advocating for internal reviews or less expensive alternatives. The debate reflects broader national discussions on police reform, accountability, and community relations.
