RETURN TO SENDER
Heads up! An ordinance will be introduced on Monday’s first City-County Council meeting to take control of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department from Sheriff Frank Anderson and put it under the control of Mayor Greg Ballard. Republicans have a 16-13 majority on the Council, so I don’t think there will be much of a problem getting it passed.
I’m also hearing that language will be included in Marion County Government consolidation legislation this session that will require the General Assembly to approve any effort to return control of IMPD back to the Sheriff.
