Seems like restructuring, to me.
Quote:Friday's proposed amendments would update the city's charter to replace the police with a new organization: the Department of Community Safety and Violence Prevention.
Under that organization there would be a Division of Law Enforcement Services, which will be "composed of licensed peace officers, subject to the supervision of the department of community safety and violence prevention," according to the proposed ordinance.
So, there will still be police with more oversight and with some duties likely redistributed.
