"The resignation follows a commission vote of 6-0 on Aug. 18 to remove Hadden for having missed more than three meetings within the past 12 months without an excuse. In her email obtained by this news organization, Hadden said her resignation was "effective immediately" as she felt she was "unable to contribute to the level" she had intended. Hadden, an ethics investigator with the city of Oakland, said she had hoped "to make meaningful contributions to the Commission's success" with her extensive background in law enforcement."
""Unfortunately, the limitations placed on me by the Chair have prevented me from fully applying my knowledge, skills, and expertise in ways that would benefit both the Commission and the community we serve," said Hadden in the email. "As a result, I do not feel I am able to contribute at the level I had intended, and I believe it is best for me to step aside." Hadden added that she will remain supportive of the commission's mission and commitment to transparency and accountability. "I wish you continued success in this important work," noted Hadden."
Treva Hadden submitted an immediate resignation from the Antioch Police Oversight Commission, citing limitations that prevented her from contributing as intended. The commission had voted 6-0 to remove Hadden for more than three unexcused absences in the past 12 months. Hadden, an Oakland ethics investigator appointed in February 2024 to a three-year term, said limitations placed by the chair curtailed her ability to apply her law enforcement experience. Hadden expressed continued support for the commission's mission and commitment to transparency and accountability. Attempts to reach Hadden for further clarification were unsuccessful.
