Springfield Police Chief Kenny Winslow does not support a proposal to give subpoena power to a citizen-led police oversight commission.
Appearing live on WMAY, Winslow says he is willing to work with Alderman Shawn Gregory and others on the City Council in hopes of finding an agreement that everyone can accept. Gregory plans to introduce an ordinance to give more independent investigative power to the Police Citizens Review Commission to look into cases of alleged police misconduct.
Winslow says there are other ways besides subpoena power to address those issues.
