More bad news from the Oakland Police Commission: The agency's investigators have been blowing key deadlines to complete misconduct cases, which means some officers may never be disciplined.
OAKLAND, Calif.In his first public meeting to the Oakland Police Commission, Mac Muir, the newly hired director of the body's investigative arm, delivered bad news: The agency's investigators have been blowing key deadlines to complete police misconduct cases, the small team is swamped with work and they're now in the process of triaging the most egregious cases to ensure that police officers are held accountable when necessary.
Since August 2022, the CPRA has received three cases for every one it closed, which Muir said is not sustainable. Several members of the public at the meeting were angry at the commission for not noticing these issues earlier. Dramatic infighting of the Oakland Police Commission came to a head this week when the body's chair, Tyfahra Milele, lost her bid to keep her spot for a second term and announced she's suing the attorney who heads up the panel that selects the new round of commissioners.
But with Muir's report and with other issues involving leadership of the police commission, that transition could now be in question.
