Abstract:

Durham City Manager Tom Bonfield released his report to City Council about ways to improve the Durham Police Department (DPD). The report focused on the problems in the DPD, primarily with the way the police conduct searches and treat marijuana-related incidents. Bonfield acknowledged a lack of trust and transparency between the public and the DPD. Further findings from the report and their impact on citizens and the DPD are discussed and Durham City Council will discuss the report on Tuesday, Sept. 2.
