The Antioch Police Oversight Commission is set to expand its membership from four to six in adherence to a U.S. Department of Justice agreement. This move aims to reinforce police oversight amid previous scandals affecting the Antioch Police Department. Appointed by the City Council on March 25, new commissioners Susan E. Kennedy and Lisa Elekwachi will help fulfill the requirement of having at least five members serving for two years. The selection process reviewed eight applicants to fill the vacancies left by a resignation, ensuring the commission's ongoing reform efforts through enhanced governance and compliance with federal standards.
"As a unit manager, I have advocated on behalf of citizens by making process changes in the Custodian of Records unit to ensure Freedom of Information Act requests and subpoenas consistently meet California Public Records Act, and Sunshine mandates."
"The commission plays a pivotal role in ensuring police oversight under the 25-page memorandum of understanding between Antioch and the federal body."
