The day before that meeting, the Citizens Coalition for Justice Reform and the United Women of Color started a new campaign for police reform, and also said what they hope to hear from the chief of police when he finally speaks.

As policing in Huntsville comes under new scrutiny, a grassroots organization Tuesday called for reform as well as more transparency from the Huntsville police department as a pathway to improved relationships with citizens they serve and protect.
The press conference held outside city hall by the Citizens Coalition for Justice Reform came five days after a police citizens advisory council delivered a harsh report on police actions at protests in Huntsville last year and a day before the city council will hold a work session to discuss that report as well as recommendations moving forward.
