I was selected by fellow Task Force members to serve as Chair.

It is important to distinguish this Task Force from the current Independent Police Oversight Commission. The Task Force existed solely to study best practices, evaluate local conditions, engage the public, and produce ordinance-ready recommendations for City Council.

As Chair, I led a structured policy development process that included:

• Reviewing national and regional police oversight models

• Examining local policing data and complaint processes

• Requesting demographic and operational data to ensure feasibility

• Facilitating public engagement and community input

• Working collaboratively with City staff, legal counsel, and public safety leadership
