2026-10-08 - Board of Police Commissioners
A commissioner said critical incident briefings are no longer being published because of the outstanding police union lawsuit and asked for a timeline for releasing critical-incident footage; the department listed it as an outstanding item. A public commenter urged the board to hold to its June resolution on the upcoming union contract, arguing contracts can stifle accountability. A commissioner replied that the board does not control contract negotiations, which are run by the mayor's team and City Council.
