City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #156806

City Performance:

Other: I recently attended a peaceful protest downtown for the Black Lives Matter movement. The Mayor gave a very nice and well received speech on the courthouse lawn. I have found that this speech has since been posted to YouTube where I have had the chance to listen to it again. During his speech he spoke about transparency at all levels in local Government. The Mayor also made mention of the fact that window tint was being removed from all Police cars in order to promote this. I believe that this was a step in the right direction. Yet despite this, I still have seen administrators at the Department getting in and out of their cars while I walk to class and while they are driving around town with window tint still on their Police cars. Why has the window tint not been removed from these Police vehicles despite the fact that the Mayor wants complete and total transparency and these are people that should be some of the most transparent ones out there? Thank you.

Complaint... 1 message Kate Annon <iuphysedgirl@gmail.com> Thu, Dec 1, 2016 at 11:37 AM To: mayor@bloomington.in.gov Mr. Mayor, Good afternoon. As you can read below, I have asked for an explanation on several occasions pertaining to a concern that I have on a promise that you made at a recent gathering. I have contacted the U-Reporting system, I have contacted your office directly and I have also sent an email and yet I cannot seem to get any type of response. I am not meaning to be a nuisance, I am merely looking for an answer, yet I seem to be getting the run around. Any assistance or explanation you may be able to offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. -Kate Hi there, A couple weeks ago, I sent a complaint to the City through the U-Report system in regards to window tint on the Chief of Police's car as well as some other police cars. As I said in my first complaint, I live in the area of the Police Department and I have noticed the police Chief as well as other individuals that get out of the same style of cars wearing a badges and guns, getting out of cars that still have window tint on them. I was hopeful that those who should be the most transparent would lead by example and be held to the promise set forth by Mayor Hamilton. I called in the other day to follow up on this complaint and I was told that there was no record of my first complaint being made. I am merely inquiring as to why the Chief of Police still has window tint on his police car when Mayor Hamilton told us at the Black Lives Matter protest in July that he would be taking all window tint off of all police cars in order to promote transparency?
