SUMMARY:
In June 2020, the Mayor created a twelve-member Citizens Police Advisory Committee (CPAC) to work collaboratively with the Pensacola Police Department and provide recommendations to enhance the mutual trust, transparency, accountability and inclusivity of its citizens and the Pensacola Police Department.
On March 30, 2021, the CPAC provided a report outlining recommendations and comments on the Pensacola Police Department policies, procedures and practices. One of the recommendations was the removal of any imagery that could be construed as racist. This would include the removal of any imagery of the Confederate flag on Pensacola Police Department uniforms and badges. The estimated cost to make the changes as recommended by CPAC is $290,000.
Currently there is a balance of $456,732 in the General Fund’s Unassigned Fund Balance. Should City Council authorize the appropriation of $290,000, a balance of $166,732 will remain in the General Fund’s Unassigned Fund Balance.
