The goals of the community #8Can’tWait task force were to review the San Rafael Police Department’s current use-of-force policy and discuss with the Task Force how key elements of the #8Can’tWait campaign can be implemented into SRPD’s operational protocols and use of force policy.
The Chief of Police received feedback from the community Task Force and the San Rafael Police Association and incorporated many changes to the use-of-force policy. On August 17, 2020, the proposed changes were brought to City Council in which they were unanimously accepted.
