GIPC Releases Video Highlighting Work of Police Reform Group
04/21/2021
The Greater Indianapolis Progress Committee (GIPC) has released a video that features the work of the Structural Reform Team, the group assembled to study and recommend critical police reforms. The team’s work was part of the Race and the Legal Process Working Group created in Summer 2020 and led by IU McKinney Dean Karen Bravo.
The team’s report, “Police Reform: Equal Treatment of Black Americans,” recommends increased public access to misconduct investigations, improved police training and certification, and application of new approaches to community policing similar to those working in other cities.
The Structural Reform Team was co-chaired by John Gaidoo, '07, Assistant General Counsel at Cummins, and Joseph Smith, partner at Faegre Drinker Biddle and Reath. Both gentlemen appear in the video. Members of the IU McKinney family featured in the video include Dean Bravo and 3L Jordan Oliver, who will graduate in May 2021.
