Community Police Review Commission members to be selected Nov. 18

Tuesday, November 12, 2024 by Chad Swiatecki

The Office of Police Oversight will hold a public drawing on Monday, Nov. 18, to select members of the Community Police Review Commission (CPRC). The 11 commissioners will be chosen from a pool of 31 applicants who confirmed interest in July, along with four alternates. The drawing will take place at 2 p.m. in City Hall’s Council Chambers and will be broadcast live on ATXN and at ATXN.tv. The CPRC, established following voter approval of Proposition A in May 2023, is an independent board tasked with strengthening civilian oversight of the Austin Police Department. Commissioners must meet strict eligibility requirements, including no current or past employment or contracts with police departments or associations. Selected commissioners will complete 20 hours of training on police conduct policies within 90 days of their appointment. The final list of members will be posted at atxpolicecommission.org.
