SMPD debriefs council on use of force policies

Interim Police Chief Bob Klett gave the San Marcos City Council a presentation Tuesday on the San Marcos Police Department’s use of force policies.

Klett’s presentation shared SMPD’s stance on the 8 Can’t Wait initiative, an initiative meant to restrict use of force policies and reduce killings by police.

Ultimately, staff recommended creating an adhoc committee composed of community members, nominated by city council focused reviewing use of force policies.
