AKRON, Ohio — The City of Akron and police department held a daily briefing one day after Jayland Walker's funeral.
Here's what we learned:
Akron Police officer name tags
According to police chief Steve Mylett, Akron Police officers will not be wearing name tags for the time being.
Officers are still required to wear badges and give their uniform numbers when asked.
Mylett said he made this decision after threats were made against officers.
“Because of the threats made against officers, I authorized them to take their name tags off," Mylett said.
Curfew
Akron is currently under a curfew from 11 p.m. until 5 a.m. in the Downtown area.
Mayor Dan Horrigan said they assess that curfew every day and will let the public know when it will be lifted.
What's next?
Police and the city plan on holding another briefing on Friday.
They will then determine how often they will be held after that.
