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
