Changes to Colorado Springs Police oversight possible - KKTV

AI Summary

The Colorado Springs City Council is considering a change to how police actions are reviewed. They voted to get rid of the current volunteer group, called LETAC. This group was started in 2020 to watch over the police. The council wants to create a new group to help build trust between the police and the community. One reason for the change might be the cost of lawsuits against the police. The city has paid almost $9 million in the last four years for cases involving too much force. The police department is also the city's biggest expense, making up over 40% of the money the city spends. A final vote on the new plan will happen later.
