Austin City-Community Reimagining Public Safety Task Force 2021 Mid-Year Recommendations Report Prepared for the City of Austin Together We Lift The Sky Art by Eileen Jimenez Sourced from Amplifier Art I n t ro d u c t i o n The City of Austin has made numerous reforms to public safety over the years, including con- ducting an investigation of systemic discrimination and bias within APD and establishing the Office of Police Oversight. The April 24, 2020 death of Mr. Michael Ramos during an interaction with APD officers ampli- fied calls to end disparities in how communities of color are treated when they interact with officers. Those calls became part of a moment of national racial reckoning with the May 25, 2020 death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer. In August 2020, after hours of community testimony, the City Council passed a historic budget to redefine public safety. The City of Austin is committed to implementing policy and cultur- al changes to address the disproportionate impact of police violence on people of color and other affected communities. Council approved an APD budget of approximately $290 million which reflects a budget change of $153.2 million. The adopted budget directs that $153.2 million in police funding to be reallocated in the following ways: • Reduce & Reinvest APD funding by approximately $31.5 million – taken primarily from cadet classes and overtime – to reinvest in permanent supportive housing and services, EMS for COVID-19 response, family violence shelter and protection, violence prevention, workforce development, and a range of other programs. • Transfer a number of APD functions (and related funding of approximately $76.6 million) out of APD over the course of the fiscal year. These include Forensics Sciences, Communications/911 call center, strategic support, and internal affairs. • Create a Reimagine Safety Fund to potentially divert approximately $45.1 million from APD toward alternative forms of public safety and community support as determined through the year-long reimagining process. 2 Council also directed the City Manager to return to Council during the mid-point of the 2021 fiscal year to amend the public safety budget following public engagement on the Reimagining Public Safety (RPS) Process. In response to these Council actions, the City Manager charged his Executive Leadership Team with creating a City-Community Reimagining Public Safety (RPS) Task Force to consider new ways to help and support the community in times …
