So the #RVACouncil Public Safety Committee just met & one of the main roles today was recommending appointments

The People& #39;s CRB Taskforce was presented by @richmondvaTAP & today committee recommended 6 spots & more applications from public housing res. https://richmondva.legistar.com/MeetingDetail.aspx?ID=732443&GUID=504EA8CB-4AF9-4A4F-86D2-FE168B9B6323&Options=info|&Search=">https://richmondva.legistar.com/MeetingDe...

Applications for the CRB task force are below. This task force would shape what the police oversight body will look like here in Richmond. Folks like Jewel G. & Kimberly Y. were discussed but not ultimately chosen.

Those who were: Fontaine, Gerner, Hinson, Dixon, Coston, Miller

Yall. Out of the 1/3 chosen are ex law enforcement, Hinson & Dixon.

Ordinance doesnt specify no current/ former LEO but for the final body created, it WILL apply thanks to SB5035/HB5055 that @richmondvaTAP also helped to push.

How the task force NOT gonna model the board tho?

So how do I feel?

I watched the chair & vice chair of the pub safety committee put forth 2 former law enforcement candidates that also belong to the Crusades who just endorsed Kim Gray for MAYOR.

So, I& #39;m disturbed by the political gymnastics happening to escape transparency.

So the FULL the council is set to meet 11/9 to vote.

WE STILL HAVE TIME to ensure this doesn& #39;t turn into another Richmond cop board.

Did i mention, we are supposed to be asking people from the most policed area of the city to sit on a board with ex-LEOs?

okay Richmond.
