TUPELO, Miss. (AP) - After a nearly two-month process, members of the Tupelo City Council heard a formal package of recommendations designed to foster increased social unity, greater racial harmony and community-wide engagement.
The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports (https://bit.ly/2dK7gLr) this effort by Mayor Jason Shelton’s administration to renew Tupelo’s history of civic cooperation comes in response to protests and discord over a deadly police shooting.
During Tuesday’s work session of the council, recommendations were offered related to law enforcement oversight, community policing, workforce diversity and engagement with the faith community.
