Police Commission calls for stricter supervision
- Share via
A series of internal audits has found lapses in the supervision of gang enforcement units in the Police Department, causing Police Commission members to call for stricter oversight.
The panel asked for a report in 30 days on fixes to the problems, including the lack of adherence to search warrant procedures and a failure to document other supervision.
“The supervision is not as tight as it should have been,” Commission President John Mack said. “It’s very important that we have adequate and effective supervision, particularly at the middle management level. That’s at the level where we have the potential of things going awry.”
