Police use of force has long been a polarizing topic, but this year the issue has taken on new relevance. To help TBA members better understand all sides of the debate, the TBA Local Government Section will host a roundtable discussion on Oct. 26 from 2 to 3 p.m. CDT with Jeff Hughes, police chief for the city of Brentwood; Maggi Duncan, executive director of the Tennessee Association of Chiefs of Police; and John Buntin, Metro Nashville director of policy and community safety. The panel will examine use of force policies, tactics, training and community oversight. The event is free and open to all members but registration is required.
