Policy review and revision is crucial to ensuring consistent, effective, and fair practices. In response to events locally and across the nation, the Urbana Police Department is updating their Use of Force Policy. As part of the revision, City leadership wants to hear from residents about what they would like to see in the new policy. Go here for more.
