The Commission on Police Practices will need to deal with a backlog and implement rules to carry out investigations

Despite strong voter approval of a measure to implement the Commission on Police Practices in 2020, San Diego has seen slow progress on implementing stronger community oversight of police.

The move comes as an interim commission, faced with a backlog and low number of members, put its work on pause

San Diego Voters approved a police oversight body with expanded power in 2020. But with two-thirds of commission seats vacant, it basically stopped functioning. The City Council filled 25 commission vacancies Monday.

Voters overwhelmingly approved Measure B in November 2020. It allows the city council to create an Independent Police Practices Commission.

The San Diego City Council has yet to appoint permanent members to the Commission on Police Practices, which voters overwhelmingly approved in 2020. As a result, dozens of cases with allegations of serious police misconduct are escaping public review.

The Commission on Police Practices has faced a series of challenges getting up and running. Now, it's dealing with vacancies.

Voters in 2020 passed a law creating a new body to oversee police misconduct complaints and guide policy reform, but its membership has dwindled to only a third of what it’s supposed to have, compromising its ability to function.
