MAYOR GREG BALLARD’S PUBLIC SAFETY PERSONNEL DIVERSITY TASK FORCE TO MEET

On September 3, 2009, Co-Chairs Joe Slash, President of the Indianapolis Urban League and Rev. Richard Willoughby and members of Mayor Greg Ballard’s Public Safety Personnel Diversity Task Force will take public comment and hear from city officials about the history and status of recruitment, hiring and promotional processes in the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) and the Indianapolis Fire Department (IFD).

The task force is charged to review recruitment, hiring, and promotional practices and policies within IFD and IMPD and to recommend further improvements that will ensure the City’s public safety forces reflect the diversity within the Indianapolis community.

This first meeting is intended to focus on an overview from city officials to inform members of the task force. Substantial time will be dedicated to public comment so that task force members can take citizens’ concerns into account as the work of the task force progresses.
