We were able to share with her our continued advancement and progress in the various programs, initiatives and policies to enhance our Springfield Police Department. Under the steadfast leadership of Police Superintendent Cheryl Clapprood, our Springfield Police Department has embraced numerous reforms and policies, including becoming the first police department in the Commonwealth to utilize body-worn cameras for all officers. I am confident that our continued positive progress to enhance our police-community relations and public safety aspects is appreciated by the Compliance Evaluator.”
