Changes to Colorado Springs Police oversight possible - KKTV

AI Summary

The Colorado Springs City Council is thinking about changing how citizens watch over the police. They voted to get rid of the current group, called LETAC. This group was started in 2020 to make sure the police were being fair. Some people think the old group didn't have enough power. A state representative said the city has paid almost $9 million in lawsuits for police using too much force in the last four years. The police department is also the biggest part of the city's budget. The council will vote again on April 28. They want to find a new way for citizens to help improve how the police and the community work together. The police department said they are thankful for the community's input.
