  • Identifying and implementing solutions to mental health issues faced by members of the MPD.
  • Facilitating diversity training opportunities for officers.
  • Purchasing tools to assist the MPD in acquiring and updating technology that increases officer accountability and builds community trust.
  • Helping those families who are impacted by crime to recover and rebuild their lives.
