The 8-sided plan identifies three key priority areas: recruitment, retention and morale at the Austin Police Department; community trust and crime prevention; and the department’s “capacity for excellence and innovation.”

It will kick off a “listening campaign”. This can involve town halls, focus groups and meetings with faith-based leaders, justice and social service organizations and other interests.

“My goal will be to cultivate a clear and deep understanding of your perspectives, concerns and ideas to strengthen Austin’s vibrancy and resilience,” Davis writes in the plan.
