BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -
The Baton
Rouge Chapter of the NAACP and a pair of Metro Council members gathered Friday
morning to lay out a plan.
They're
hoping to solve what they say is a "racial disconnect" within the Baton
Rouge Police Department.
Flanked by
councilwomen Ronnie Edwards and Denise Marcelle, the president of the Baton
Rouge NAACP called for an oversight committee made up of city residents to
oversee the recruitment and hiring process on the force. They say they're
troubled by the lack of diversity they've seen over the last few years.
"One
of the parts of this commission or board that we're asking our city council to
form is to allow that information to be very transparent, the process to be
open and that we have the opportunity to work hand-in-hand with the police
department to seek out and recruit the type of officers that we need,"
said Kwame Asante, president of the Baton Rouge Chapter of the NAACP.
They also
called for public input in the hiring process of a new chief and repeatedly
called for more review of the federal consent decree.
