"Mayor Barbara Lee has nominated two new members to the Police Commission: Evelio Grillo, a retired Alameda County Superior Court judge, and Douglas Wong, a retired fire engineer with the Contra Costa Fire Protection District. Lee's picks were introduced at Thursday's Rules and Legislation Committee meeting, which schedules agenda items for future City Council meetings. Wong was at the meeting and answered questions from council members about his views on constitutional policing and collaboration with the City Council."
"On Dec. 18, the Police Commission Selection Panel, a nine-member volunteer board in charge of picking nominees for four of the seven seats on the Police Commission, recommended the reappointments of Ricardo Garcia-Acosta, currently the commission's chair, and Omar Farmer, currently an alternate commissioner. Both are serving in a hold-over capacity since their terms expired on Oct. 16. It was the third time the selection panel unanimously voted to recommend their reappointments."
Mayor Barbara Lee nominated Evelio Grillo, a retired Alameda County Superior Court judge, and Douglas Wong, a retired Contra Costa fire engineer, to the Police Commission. Lee's picks were introduced at the Rules and Legislation Committee, where Wong answered questions about constitutional policing and collaboration with the City Council. The committee unanimously voted to forward both nominations to the Jan. 20 City Council consent agenda. Two other nominees, Ricardo Garcia-Acosta and Omar Farmer, were recommended for reappointment by the Police Commission Selection Panel but previously had their renewals declined by the council amid concerns about the selection panel's processes and reported conduct.
