Mayor Krewson Announces New Corrections Task Force

“First and foremost, I want to extend my gratitude to Judge Wolff for agreeing to chair this important task force. The City takes very seriously the health and safety of the individuals who the courts have determined need to be held pretrial. We believe that our Corrections Division is running a professional and capable operation under the leadership of Commissioner Dale Glass.

We are aware of the concerns that have been raised in the community and the media and expect the task force to investigate,” said Mayor Krewson.
