Los Rios Police Department Reforms

Acknowledging the mistreatment of Black and Brown communities, the Los Rios Community College District's Police Department under Chief Larry K. Savidge is taking steps towards reform. The reforms focus on shifting away from minor crimes, enhancing protections against profiling, and implementing community feedback through advisory groups. Additionally, there is emphasis on reducing use of force and increasing focus on crisis intervention teams. These changes aim to address concerns and create a safer environment for students and faculty of color.
