INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The faith-based group Faith in Indiana said Thursday that the mayor of Indianapolis within 24 hours will submit a rough draft on “use of force” changes for police and a progressive disciplinary process.
The group is demanding police reform after protests across the city and says Mayor Joe Hogsett is on board with revising the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department’s policies. The group said more than 1,000 people have emailed Hogsett looking for changes within IMPD.
Members of Faith in Indiana are advocating for change after the deaths of Dreasjon Reed in May, Eric Logan in June 2019 and Aaron Bailey in June 2017.
