EASTHAMPTON The Mayor’s Pledge Work Group, created last summer to provide recommendations to re-envision police safety, has released a final report focused on increasing non-police alternatives for health and public safety issues, transparency and community collaboration.
The group, which was tasked with reviewing the city police department’s use-of-force policies, issued six recommendations for the city to implement:
■Investing in non-police, community-led responses for safety and health concerns.
■“Robust” data collection and analysis with regular reporting.
■Strengthened oversight.
■Examining police culture and training.
