Fareed Johnson’s life experiences don’t resemble those of people typically chosen to lead civilian police advisory boards across the country.
In Jacksonville, a pastor to more than 1,400 members leads the Jacksonville Safety and Crime Reduction Commission. The chair of the Dallas Community Police Oversight Board is a credit bureau reporting analyst who is also a writer, community activist and public speaker.
A private investor and former chairman of the local Boys and Girls Club heads the board of police commissioners in Kansas City, Missouri. In Columbus, Ohio, the community safety advisory commission is led by a former city attorney who is CEO of the local United Way.
