"The current panel functions, in nature, as an investigative unit - combining a staff of former officers and attorneys with a rigorously vetted panel voted on by the Miami Commission."
"Rodney Jacobs, head of the CIP, told the Miami Herald he was informed that his department would be disbanded and his six employees would face a possible layoff or firing."
"I don't believe in the city's articulation of the law," he said. "I think [the law] still gives a pathway for it to still exist."
"Jacobs said it handled about 300 cases last year. He emphasized that the new state law does not cover some of the nuanced and forward-thinking functions created by the investigative panel."
