A new workgroup will be placing the Madison Police Department’s policies and procedures under the microscope, as the city council weighs its response to the police killing of Corey Ruiz in July. The workgroup has just over six months to review the department’s use of deadly force, de-escalation, and body-worn camera policies, and report back with recommendations.
