Today, the North Hartford Public Safety Coalition released a public statement regarding the Office of Inspector General’s report on the tragic death of Steven Jones.
The findings confirm what many residents and community members expressed from the beginning:
Steven Jones was experiencing a severe mental health crisis, and the use of deadly force was determined to be “not objectively reasonable” and “not legally justified.”
While this report and the resulting charges represent an important step toward accountability, our community continues to carry deep pain, trauma, and grief.
We remain committed to advocating for:
• Stronger mental health crisis response systems
• Greater use of trained behavioral health professionals
• Transparency and accountability
• Full activation of the Police Accountability Review Board
• Community-centered public safety reform
Healing and justice must move together.
Please continue to keep the Jones family, impacted residents, first responders, and the City of Hartford in your prayers as we work toward restoring trust and preventing tragedies like this in the future.
