In a heated meeting, Columbus Police Chief Tom Quinlan and Mayor Andrew Ginther checked in with the Safety Advisory Commission to give a progress report on reform recommendations and gather feedback on police response to protests.
Quinlan laid out the department’s progress on the commission’s recommendations, noting 61% are complete or in progress. Meanwhile, Ginther said he expects to form a working group for an independent review board by July, and members seated by the end of the year.
Ginther reiterated that review board is his top priority for the next police contract.
