The Letter

Subject Support Independent Police Oversight and Accountability Reforms

Maricopa County billed $163 million in racial profiling reform costs to taxpayers while the department continued the practices the reforms were meant to stop. Without independent oversight, departments mark themselves as compliant while communities bear the cost.

Support independent civilian oversight boards with subpoena power and oppose allowing departments to self-certify compliance with reform agreements.
