I'm asking for a strong independent oversight body with subpoena power; investigatory authority; disciplinary authority; and the ability to hire and fire officers, including the Chief of Police. Police need to be held accountable if they do something wrong We don't need it. SAPID is a great department that keeps our streets safe. I think all law enforcement agencies should have independent civilian oversight Never trust SAPD!! corrupt! You got my info. Come at me bro. Police oversight will benefit and support the goals of our community -oriented policing as it seeks to utilize problem solving techniques to work in a cooperative effort with the community to proactively address concerns. methods and procedures of our s public satety organizations recommend changes that improve the efficiency and outcomes of these strategies. Day to day operations remain the purview of public safety professionals, but an oversight committee would have wider latitude to recommend policy shifts or legislative changes that can be brought to the city council. Examples include evaluation of when physical visits by patrol units are required, how priority categories are divided, what overtime expenses are approved, and how public safety resources can be Your community outreach tab is not working. - Accountability should be the focus. more helpful is DEFUNDING the police & using that money to fund community programs that would actually benefit OUR community.

It would be helpful for me to have a little bit more information about the organizational structure of police oversight, be what is important for me is that all of the models be community -facing. I'm struggling to identify which model the UC CRB used (I think it was a combination of review & auditor?). We definitely did not have access to internal affairs (which was problematic be there was very little room for us to actually make recommendations to the police department about specific complaints), but we filed reports and had public comment about reports as they were completed. The auditor model seems like the best option be it would allow the CRB to initiate and re -open IA investigations after they have been reviewed, but it also feels like it would be the only option that would allow community members to review budgets and advocate for policy decisions that would lead to defunding (or abolishing) the police. However, regardless of the model, it feels important to emphasize that the public/community have transparent access to CRB processes so that there can be as much community involvement as possible. If the CRB is as inaccessible as the police department itself, it lessens opportunities for citizens (participants particularly unhoused folks to experience agency around advocating for accountability to the residents. have been implemented years ago. Regardless of the oversight model, transparency with residents needs to be a priority. Let's also not buy over the top military style weapons and reinvest in our school(students and teachers) 65D-124
