The Madison community is invited to participate in the first of several upcoming listening sessions to be held by the Office of the Independent Monitor (OIM), according to the city of Madison. This first session will be hosted at the Madison Municipal Building in Conference Room 206 on Nov. 29 from 6–8 p.m. Information on other upcoming community listening sessions will be made available in the near future.
The primary objective of the community listening sessions is to gather input from the Madison community on the Police Civilian Oversight Board (PCOB) and OIM’s complaint process. As this complaint process will be the primary means by which the public will communicate with its independent and civilian-lead police oversight agency, Madison residents will be encouraged to participate in discussion groups designed to gather feedback regarding what they expect and wish to see in the PCOB/OIM Complaint Process.
Group discussions will be recorded for future analysis by the OIM and PCOB to ensure the thoughts of the Madison community are present in future discussions and finalizations of the complaint process.
Meals will be provided to attendees.
