PHOENIX \u2014 Community members who want to influence how the Phoenix Police Department engages with people experiencing homelessness have an opportunity to shape policy for a limited time.<\/p>\n
On Friday, the department announced it is seeking public feedback on its new \u201cInteracting with Individuals Experiencing Homelessness\u201d policy.<\/p>\n
The proposed policy, released for review, outlines how officers should conduct themselves when reporting encampments, handling the personal property of people who don\u2019t have a home and interacting with unsheltered people overall.<\/p>\n
It has not been finalized because the department hopes to incorporate community perspectives during a 30-day comment period.<\/p>\n
Through Saturday, Dec. 13, the public is encouraged to review the policy and share input.<\/p>\n
At the end of the six-page document<\/a>, a blue button labeled \u201cClick here to provide feedback\u201d links to a Microsoft Forms survey that asks respondents to review specific sections and indicate whether the policy is clear, comprehensive, appropriately guides officers about what to do and more.<\/p>\n Police will review and consider all comments before finalizing the policy.<\/p>\n Follow @serenaeosully<\/a><\/p>\n We want to hear from you.<\/p>\n Have a story idea or tip?
