We’ve heard a lot of community interest in the policies advocated for by the Eight Can’t Wait campaign and we appreciate that feedback.

In Eugene we have many of policies that address several of the eight recommendations. In addition, we have multiple tools in place to help ensure accountability to these policies including:

• Body-worn cameras by police
• Independent Police Auditor
• Civilian Review Board
• Police Internal Investigations team 
• Police Commission

While the City of Eugene has already implemented many of the Eight Can’t Wait polices to reduce police violence – we are always open new ideas and ways we can improve. See image for the Eugene Police Department policies that correspond to some of the recommendations.
