Evanston mayoral candidate Sebastian Nalls said his plan to implement police reform within his first 90 days in office sets his public safety platform apart from those of his opponents.
Nalls, a 20-year-old Purdue University student and Evanston Township High School graduate, spoke with The Daily about his plans for policing.
“I, myself, as a Black man in Evanston, have been racially profiled by police here,” Nalls said. “We are not exempt from the national issues that take place when it comes to policing.”
As mayor, Nalls wants to create a Police Reform Committee to oversee police reform efforts. He would also require the Evanston Police Department to conduct a review of its police officers.

The Police Reform Committee members spent Thursday morning reviewing questions to include in an online survey likely to be made public by the end of February.
The committee was set up in response to a state mandate for all departments within New York to determine ways to improve policing.
Committee member Don D’Amato, who has been researching platforms to offer a survey to the public, said Survey Monkey is the best platform for this particular effort.
The survey shouldn’t be confused with complaint forms filed by those who have issues with the handling of a particular case. Those issues should be filed either with the Shelter Island Police Department or with Supervisor Gerry Siller so they can be investigated and appropriately handled.
