Police accountability has been a subject of conversation in the Rochester community for several decades, with one of the main questions being, ‘should law enforcement have a role in deciding how police officers are disciplined?’
In recent weeks, City Hall and City Council have released proposals for police accountability boards. In our first of several upcoming conversations on this subject, we sit down with members of City Council, who discuss their draft legislation and their priorities. We also hear from members of the Police Accountability Board Alliance. In studio:
- Loretta Scott, president of Rochester City Council
- Adam McFadden, vice president of Rochester City Council
- Willie Joe Lightfoot, member of Rochester City Council
- Mitch Gruber, member of Rochester City Council
- Pastor Wanda Wilson, member of the executive committee for the Police Accountability Board Alliance
- Ted Forsyth, member of the executive committee for the Police Accountability Board Alliance
- Tim Macaluso, news staff writer for City Newspaper
