Akron Mayor Shammas Malik says that the top priority of his administration is public safety.
Malik made this comment Tuesday during his State of the City address.
He states that the city's approach to public safety begins with the safety forces in the police and fire departments.
The mayor used his speech to again call for hiring a consulting firm to review use-of-force policies within the Akron Police Department.
