East Lansing Insider Podcast: Downtown Safety and the Debate Over Police Oversight Commission

This week on the East Lansing Insider podcast, Deputy Editor Anna Liz Nichols and City Government Reporter Ayah Imran examine two pressing issues in East Lansing: A series of recent public safety incidents downtown and proposed changes to the city’s Independent Police Oversight Commission.

Anna and Ayah break down what community members and commissioners are saying about revisions to the ordinance that outlines the authority of the oversight commission, including concerns that it may deplete accountability for law enforcement.

Along with being available to listen to here, the podcast is available on streaming services like Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
