JANESVILLE
A community committee that advises Janesville police officials on issues important to local African Americans re-formed and re-set its goals at an online meeting Tuesday.
Daniel Jackson, a local black man who is the dean of students at Marshall Middle School, volunteered to lead the group.
âI think itâs needed now more than ever,â Jackson said of the group, formally known as the African America Liaison Advisory Committee.
Police Chief Dave Moore said Jackson, who had been involved in the committee previously, offered his services in the wake of recent meetings that apparently didnât go well.
Exactly what happened at those meetings was not discussed Tuesday, but several speakers noted the heightened attention to racial-justice issues in the wake of deaths at the hands of police around the country in 2020.
