📢 Submit a public comment 📢 As the City of Oceanside voted on a Police Oversight Board tomorrow, our organizing teams in Oceanside believe the current version being voted on does not speak to the values we must uphold in the city.
The purpose of the board should be to assess complaints and conduct independent reviews of police misconduct. Effective oversight boards are often made up of community members outside the police department with the intention of having a non-biased, third party to review complaints.
❓DID YOU KNOW❓What is a police oversight board and how will it contribute to just and equitable policing? Does your city have a #policeoversightboard and if so, what’s its structure?
