Rocky Mountain PBS: On Tuesday morning, Colorado Springs City Council voted 8-0 to advance an ordinance to dissolve the city’s Law Enforcement Transparency and Advisory Commission (LETAC). The ordinance requires a final vote, which is set to take place April 28. 

Many community members who support a police-accountability force also supported the commission’s dissolution. At a city council meeting on Tuesday, LETAC participants said that they had no authority over the Colorado Springs Police Department and their input was often ignored. 

“LETAC was created on purpose to be toothless,” said Genevieve Richard, a member of the political group Colorado Springs Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression, during public comment.
