Supervisor Shamann Walton proposed allowing voters to elect the head of police oversight in SF, seeking independence from mayoral influence on the Department of Police Accountability.
Walton indicated the current setup makes the DPA leader answerable to the mayor's office, lacking true independence, suggesting a change with the new proposal for an elected director.
The legislation co-sponsored by four supervisors emphasizes the need for independence, denying any specific critique on the current director or Mayor London Breed.
