Dear Mayor and City Commissioners,
I am a resident of Bozeman and registered voter, and am writing to urge you to take the My Brother's
Keeper Alliance Mayor Pledge to address police use of force policies in Bozeman. This pledge is a national
call for mayors, city councils and commissions, and police oversight bodies to:
1. REVIEW your police use of force policies.
2. ENGAGE your communities by including a diverse range of input, experiences, and stories in your review.
3. REPORT the findings of your review to your community and seek feedback.
4. REFORM your community’s police use of force policies.

Second, I am writing to urge immediate adoption in Bozeman of the 8 Can't Wait use of force policies:
1. Ban chokeholds and strangleholds
2. Require de-escalation
3. Require warning before shooting
4. Require exhausting alternatives before shooting
5. Duty to intervene
6. Ban on shooting moving vehicles
7. Require use of force continuum
8. Require comprehensive use of force reporting
https://8cantwait.org/
Sincerely,
Andrea Hamre
