Home MenuPublic Safety Advisory Task Force
The Tempe Public Safety Advisory Task Force is a group created by Tempe Mayor Corey Woods with the primary goal of building trust, accountability and dialogue between the community and the Tempe Police Department. The task force focused on policies, hiring, use of technologies, training, data and how the city engages with people who are Black, Indigenous, people of color, people experiencing homelessness and those with mental health challenges.
Task force members came together in a series of focused conversations between October 2020 and January 2021 to influence the future of policing in Tempe.
An implementation plan based on the task force recommendations is underway. Visit the Tempe Community Safety Plan pages for more details.
