Mayor Pete Buttigieg expects to receive a consultant’s assessment of police practices and operations before he leaves office at year’s end, and he’ll ask the city’s Board of Public Works to approve a contract for the review at its Oct. 22 meeting.

Ryan O’Neill, who is white, fatally shot black theft suspect Eric Logan in a downtown parking lot, heightening tensions between police and the black community.
