In 2023, the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) contracted the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) to conduct an extensive review of our training programs in the use of force & defensive tactics, de-escalation, procedural justice, and response to persons in crisis. PERF’s report was completed last week.
CSPD and PERF will publicly release and present the study at the Police Operations Center on Thursday, September 26, 2024, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. The presentation will include remarks from Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade and Colorado Springs Police Chief Adrian Vasquez, as well as a briefing from PERF personnel who conducted the study.
CSPD invites local media partners and members of the public to join us for this presentation. All who wish to attend are welcome.
