Chief Steve Anderson this afternoon issued the following statement on the just released final draft Memorandum of Understanding between the Metropolitan Police Department and the Community Oversight Board:

“I am appreciative to Dr. Hildreth, Deputy Chief Hagar, and Law Director Cooper for their commitment in developing a Memorandum of Understanding that takes into consideration principles important to both the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department and the Community Oversight Board,” Chief Steve Anderson said. “The draft Memorandum of Understanding appropriately builds upon the police department policy made effective last August that called for cooperative interaction with the COB.
