CHARLOTTE -- The police foundation says work needs to be done after CMPD's response to protests after Keith Scott's shooting death in 2016.
Members made their recommendations in a report released last week.
On Tuesday, some in the community responded.
"It's pretty paperwork, but that's all it is, pretty paperwork," said Meko McCarthy, Safe Coalition.
That was the message from activists outside Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center Tuesday in response to the 103-page report released by the police foundation last week.
The foundation recommends CMPD improve community relations and increase transparency.
Members of the Safe Coalition, NAACP and other organizations say the report touches on some important areas but only scratches the surface.
The groups make some specific recommendations including
-Subpoena power for the Citizens Review Board
-Bias training for CMPD officers
-The addition of holster monitors for officers
-An update from council on the recommendations they received from the Citizens Review Board
Mayor Pro Tem Julie Eiselt says while the recommendations by the police foundation are important, so is input from the community.
"It's what does the community want? What is the community expecting? I don't want to suggest that we would stop at what the report recommends, it's a good guideline," said Julie Eiselt, Charlotte mayor pro tem.
As the fallout from from the 2016 riots continue, change is what these activists want sooner rather than later .
The city paid $380,000 for the police commission report.
