The framework of San Diego’s Commission on Police Practices moved forward Monday when the City Council approved an ordinance that will shape the makeup of the civilian oversight panel.
“I think it’s a good balance,” Councilmember Monica Montgomery Steppe said of the ordinance. “I really do.” The commission will include 25 members, with seats reserved for one resident from each of the city’s nine council districts, two residents ages 18 to 24 and five residents in low- or moderate-income neighborhoods.
Wilson suggested the exclusion would cause officers to feel like they work in an anti-police environment. Councilmember Chris Cate, the son of a retired California Highway Patrol officer, said the rule irked him. He acknowledged it was personal.Several council members said the goal of the commission was to create a solid layer of oversight and accountability.
Councilmember Stephen Whitburn said he was sympathetic to the police union’s request but said he realized the impetus of the commission was to improve trust in communities.
And it’s total garbage
