The Office of the Independent Police Auditor continues to
be an active member of the National Association for Civilian Oversight of Law
Enforcement (NACOLE). NACOLE is a national organization that provides
continuing education for practitioners of civilian oversight. The Independent
Police Auditor serves as member of the board of directors.
NACOLE’s Annual Conference is an opportunity for the oversight community
nationwide to come together and discuss the most critical issues in police
accountability. The theme of the 2002 conference was, “The Value of
Civilian Oversight: Dollars and Sense.” San José’s IPA
presented a successful panel discussion titled, “Building Your Public,
Media, and Political Base.”

The IPA moderated the discussion with speakers from the San José
community, including Vice-Mayor Pat Dando, Vice-President for the San
José Mercury News, Bryan Monroe, and IPAAC members Merylee Shelton and
Victor Garza. The speakers represented the three key disciplines that are vital
to the survival of every civilian oversight agency. They shared their
perspectives as to how their participation played a critical role in making the
City’s Office of the Independent Police Auditor successful and effective without alienating the police or the community.
