Press release -
Mayor John Cooper today announced that the Community Oversight
Board (COB) and the Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) are meeting
this week to begin the process of negotiating a Memorandum of
Understanding that will specify how the two parties will share
information and interact going forward.
“I’ve been a strong supporter of the COB,” said Mayor Cooper.
“Nashvillians want and expect the COB and MNPD to work together to
strengthen trust and provide accountability. I commend Chief Steve
Anderson and the Community Oversight Board for coming together to
develop an agreement that works for Nashville.”
Chief Anderson has designated Deputy Chief Mike Hagar to represent
MNPD in this discussion process. COB Chair Ashlee Davis has designated
Dr. Phyllis Hildreth as the board’s representative. Metro Legal Director
Bob Cooper and the Mayor’s Office will convene and facilitate the

arise.
