(Michigan City, IN) - Change with police is being discussed now in Michigan City.  City Councilman Bryant Dabney says a citizens review board should be established locally at some point. Instead of police watching the police, he feels an independent board of citizens would provide assurance if the actions of police here are called into question.

City Councilman Paul Pryzbylinski is proposing adding two citizens to the existing three-member police civil service commission, saying that would add transparency to the review process. The proposed changes are in response to the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. About one-third of the population in Michigan City is African American.
