**City of Akron Hosts Community Forum on Public Order Policy**

The City of Akron has announced a community forum scheduled for tonight, Tuesday, February 25th, to discuss the development of a new public order policy for the Akron Police Department. The two-hour event is free and open to the public. It will take place from 5:00 to 7:00 pm at the Garfield Community Learning Center located at 1326 Brown Street.

The forum will be facilitated by Spencer Fomby from Law Enforcement Tactical Consultants and moderated by Professor Brant Lee from The University of Akron School of Law. This forum aims to gather input and feedback from Akron residents on what should be included in the updated crowd management and public order policy for the police department.

City officials emphasize that this event is distinct from the ongoing proposal to review the use-of-force policy, which is currently under consideration by the City Council.
