BOSTON — Mayor Marty Walsh said Tuesday he is throwing his support behind final recommendations from the Boston police reform task force. The mayor said he’ll officially accept all recommendations, including establishing a police accountability office and expanding the body camera program.
The task force is led by former U.S. Attorney Wayne Budd and is comprised of police officers, clergy, community leaders and attorneys. The 11-member group was assigned to review police policies and procedures after people in Boston and around the country protested police brutality.
“After George Floyd’s murder. . . the Black community in Boston spoke clearly,” Walsh said. “We have to change the system that we inherited.”
