The San Jose independent police auditor aims to review all use-of-force incidents involving police, expanding oversight following Measure G's approval. Although the 2024 report showed 13 serious injuries from police incidents, concerns arise over costs and workload implications of broadening the review scope beyond serious cases. While the auditor argues for comprehensive oversight to ensure accountability, San Jose police and city officials contend that the current balance of oversight is sufficient and that expanding the review could strain limited resources.
San Jose's current oversight system achieves this balance by providing (the IPA's office) with timely access to serious incidents and ensuring civilian complaints - regardless of severity - are fully reviewed.
Aubrey wants to review all incidents where police used force on someone - regardless of whether or not civilians were injured, citing expanded oversight authority from Measure G.
