Please add any comments below regarding your thoughts on police oversight. <br />A police oversight commission is pointless without real actionable powers, but these <br />positions should be appointed based on recommendations by members of the legal <br />system, government, and experienced individuals rather than elected. I also recommend <br />they be nominated by these experienced individuals but that appointment ultimately <br />remain anonymous so that there will not be undue influence, bias, or potential for <br />corruption. <br />I'm asking for an oversight board that meets the following criteria: <br />1) Independence: Board members and staff must exclude current and former City, <br />Department, and Association employees and employees of other government entities <br />and must include representatives from communities most affected by police practices. <br />See FAQ below for talking points <br /> <br />2) Investigatory: The board must have the ability to subpoena witnesses and documents, <br />including police disciplinary documents, video and audio footage, such as that produced <br /> by body or dash cameras, and other relevant materials. <br />3) Discipline: The board must have a role in officer discipline, including removal from <br />active duty <br />4) Secured Funding: The board’s funding must be sustainable, independent and <br />protected. <br />5) Community Engagement: The board must hold regular public meetings, which must <br />be webcast and recorded, to summarize findings and engage with community members. <br />The board must also develop regular public reports on their work. The board itself should <br /> be accountable to the public. <br />We need a board that is independent, investigatory, and accountable to the community <br />directly impacted by police violence <br />I'd like to see an independent oversight commission with subpoena power, investigative <br />authority, disciplinary authority, and the ability to terminate officers that abuse their <br />power or demonstrate corruption <br />People with no formal education should NOT be excluded from being a part of this. Also, <br />this should be open to undocumented immigrants and people with criminal records. <br />This important oversight committee must not be a rubber stamp in anyway. <br />Should stop the nightly illegal fireworks nightly in or at the river bed by godzil high school <br />and the centennial park behind the condos on harbor and heil, its nightly its scary its <br />loud <br />inclusion of english, spanish, and vietnamese language/community representation, so as <br />to proportionately represent the community we live in and that the safety officer police. <br />Strongly believe it must be someone who has experience in the day to day task of a <br />police officer. How else would they know what the job entitles first hand
