This proposed resolution requests a study of alternatives to the use of tear gas by the Madison Police Department (MPD). Upon receiving this study from the MPD, the Madison Common Council will review the findings, with careful attention to available de-escalation alternatives, and use this information to determine whether to ban tear gas and if so, will determine an appropriate timeline.
