Members of the South Bend City Council have been working on a minority <br /> recruitment plan since police negotiations, and that was a priority from both the <br /> FOP and the Council negotiating team. Minority recruitment has been a staple of <br /> the SBPD since I was hired in 1975. Paul Harvey, to Span Mitchem, to John and <br /> Norval Williams, Lynn Coleman, John Collins, Darryl Boykins, Mattie Taylor and <br /> dozens of African American officers have worked continually to hire minority <br /> recruits. <br /> The South Bend Police Department has been testing and working on a policy for <br /> body cameras for over a year, and is still gathering information on that issue. <br /> The Board of Public Safety is a citizen review board of 5, consisting of 3 African <br /> American males, one Hispanic female and one White male. <br /> The council has worked hard and will always communicate with citizens for the <br /> "Betterment of the Community." <br /> Contact: Derek D.
