The new Sacramento Community Police Commission (SCPC) is now accepting applications for potential commissioners. The application period is open until September 25, 2015. Interested candidates can apply online (link).
The Mayor and City Council established the SCPC to provide recommendations on bias-free policing and on the implementation, evaluation, and sustainability of efforts to strengthen community-police relations.
There are 10 seats open. A description of the requirements for those seats can be found on the City’s Boards and Commissions webpage (link). The seats in positions A – F are required to have a letter of support from an organization that fits the criteria listed.
Please pass this information along to anyone you believe would be a good candidate and will assist in making Sacramento the safest big city in California and a model of community-police relations.
For questions or additional information, please contact Francine Tournour, Director of the Office of Public Safety Accountability, at ftournour@cityofsacramento.org or 916-808-7345.
