Why does Fresno need an
Independent Police Auditor?
“Nationally, establishment of an independent auditor is recommended
as a ‘best practices’ procedure for all law enforcement.”
“An independent police auditor can accomplish a balance of three key objectives, citizen satisfaction, prudent financial management, and police support.”
– 2007 Fresno Grand Jury Report
Speakers will discuss why an Independent Police Auditor
is needed in the City of Fresno:
|
Barbara Attard, Independent Police Auditor (IPA) for the City of San Jose
Ms. Attard will talk about what an IPA does, what an IPA can do for Fresno, and how she has provided oversight to the San Jose Police Department’s citizen complaint process. |
Mark Schlosberg, Police Practices Policy Director of the ACLU of Northern California
Mr. Schlosberg will talk about the legal responsibilities of the Police Department in the handling of constituent complaints. |
There will also be testimony from citizens who have filed complants regarding
mistreatment by the Fresno City Police Department.
