Austin City Council · City Council Work Session · 7 Apr 2026 meeting

I appreciate that you stepped in there because that's exactly where my question lies.

I appreciate that you said that distinction is important.

So I just had one of the questions I have is I can see how, you know, the increase in numbers will cause instant alarm for our constituents.

And I'm just curious, how do we communicate that with them?

What does this communication outreach strategy look like so our community knows there hadn't been necessarily a change in behavior, but a change in reporting?

Thank you.

I appreciate that, and I appreciate the attention to detail there.

I wonder if, though, generally our constituents aren't accessing data portals.

Fair enough.

That will be on us and our CPIO to make certain that we're communicating effectively, because I appreciate that data is critical, but I think sometimes the consumption of data by laypeople says something that it didn't say.

so I just want to make certain we're intentional there.

And then the other question I had, you said something earlier.

I appreciate that you gave the description for why you said proportionality.

That was curious to me, but I now understand and appreciate that.

What was the other question I had?

Oh, it was the thing about leg restraints, tasers, et cetera, and that's the thing with the data change.

I'm curious to know, when you said that wasn't national best practice, why weren't we doing it before?

Just by way of protocol.

And I'm not asking this to be inflammatory.

I'm asking this to make certain that I'm able to accurately convey, you know, that we are making improvements very intentionally and, you know.
