–The City of San Luis Obispo is releasing an “after-action review” report of the response by the San Luis Obispo Police Department to a protest on June 1, 2020 to the community. The San Luis Obispo City Council along with the San Luis Obispo City Manager requested the police department to examine its response to the use of tear gas on protesters, who had entered the US 101 freeway and blocked several downtown streets. The council is expected to discuss the report at its Feb. 16 meeting; the public is invited to review the staff report and after-action report ahead of time.
After action reviews are a common tool used by police agencies following a significant incident to document the response and provide a foundation for community dialog. “It’s important for the police department, the community, and the city council to fully understand all aspects of this major incident. We want to understand what made this protest different from the nearly 70 others the city supported last
