Statement
Under ABC, the board has operated less like an independent civilian check on police power and more like an extension of the mayor’s public-safety agenda. Concerns about political interference, transparency, and procedural fairness have been amplified by the Board’s handling of complaints and high-profile resignations in protest of political interference. We will work to restore confidence in transparent and accountable board operations.
