SUBJECT: Alternate Police Commissioner
Appointment
DATE: May 12, 2022

RECOMMENDATION
Staff Recommends That The City Council Adopt A Resolution Accepting The Selection Panel’s Slate Of One Alternate Police Commissioner (Angela Jackson-Castain) To Serve On The City Of Oakland Police Commission.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In accordance with the City Charter, City Council approval of the resolution will accept the Selection Panel’s decision to appoint Angela Jackson-Castain as an Alternate Commissioner on the Oakland Police Commission. If approved, Ms. Jackson-Castain will assume the current vacant Alternate Police Commissioner seat, with a term ending on October 16, 2022.
BACKGROUND / LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
City Charter Section 604 (Police Commission) was first established by voter approval at the November 8, 2016 election, and later amended at the November 3, 2020 election. The ballot measures (also referred to as Measure LL and Measure S1) established a seven-member Police Commission, with two alternate commissioners, charged with overseeing the Oakland Police Department (OPD) to ensure that its policies, practices and customs meet national standards of constitutional policing. Duties of the Police Commissioners include overseeing the Community Police Review Agency (CPRA), which conducts investigations into allegations of officer misconduct; overseeing the Office of the Inspector General (OIG), which performs independent audits of OPD; proposing changes to, approving, or rejecting current or proposed OPD policies; removing the Chief of Police for cause; as well as other duties.
The measures also established a nomination process whereby a nine-person Selection Panel would be responsible for nominating four (4) Commissioners and one (1) Alternate Commissioner to the Police Commission. The Mayor is also responsible for nominating three (3) Commissioners and (1) Alternate Commissioner. All nominations are subject to City Council approval. The Mayor and each City Council Member nominate an individual to serve on the Selection Panel. The Selection Panel meets as needed to determine its nomination process and review candidates wishing to serve on the Police Commission.

On May 18, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 88643 C.M.S., confirming Jesse Hsieh as an Alternate Police Commission appointee to the Police Commission. On April 6, 2022 Henry Gage resigned his position thereby creating a vacancy on the Police Commission.
At its meeting on April 14, 2022, the Oakland Police Commission voted to fill the vacancy created by Henry Gage III and elevated Jesse Hsieh to the role of Commissioner. The action created a new vacancy on the Police Commission for an alternate member seat.
Per City Charter Section 605(c)(8), the Selection Panel was tasked with nominating a candidate to fill the vacant Alternate Commissioner seat since that position was previously held by a Selection Panel appointee.
ANALYSIS AND POLICY ALTERNATIVES
The Selection Panel conducted an interview process in nominating Angela Jackson-Castain as an Alternate Commissioner. During their 2021 nomination process, three candidates, including Ms. Jackson-Castain, were considered finalists but were ultimately not selected by the Selection Panel as they made one nomination to the Police Commission in August 2021. Those three (3) candidates were considered reserve pool applicants by the Selection Panel and would receive first consideration should a vacancy occur in late-2021 or early-2022.
Two (2) of the three (3) reserve pool candidates accepted an interview with the Selection Panel on April 26, 2022. After completion of the interviews and deliberation, the Selection Panel voted to nominate Ms. Angela Jackson-Castain as an Alternate Commissioner.
Should Ms. Angela Jackson-Castain’s appointment be confirmed by the City Council, she will be eligible to immediately serve on the Police Commission. Ms. Jackson-Castain will assume the vacant term ending on October 16, 2022, and Ms. Jackson-Castain will be eligible to serve an additional three-year term should she be nominated by either the Selection Panel or Mayor in the future, subject to City Council approval.
If the City Council does not accept or reject Ms. Angela Jackson-Castain’s nomination within sixty (60) days, she shall be deemed appointed by way of City Charter Section 604(c)(3)(c).

Application for Position of Commissioner: Supplemental Questionnaire Applicant: Angela Jackson-Castain
1. Please describe any life work and significant community volunteer experiences that prepare you to contribute to the work of the Commission.
As someone born and raised in Oakland, community engagement and advocacy were instilled in me at a young age. One of my first significant experiences preparing me for the work of the Commission was serving as Chair for the City of Oakland’s Mayor’s Youth Advisory Commission under former Mayor Jerry Brown while in high school. This experience afforded me insight into how communities addressed societal issues from a governance vantage point; and not just as individuals experiencing them. This was my introduction into city government, I then went on to major in political science in college.
Another significant experience was through work. I was instrumental in establishing the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs (OJP) Diagnostic Center where I lead the delivery of national best practices; training and technical assistance; and data-driven solutions to local communities across the country grappling with systemic criminal justice and law enforcement issues.
In this capacity, I honed my expertise to become a nationally recognized criminal justice professional and subject matter expert (SME) with over twelve years of experience in quantitative and qualitative analytical techniques and the application of rigorous research methodologies to assess the efficacy of law enforcement, systemic violence and other serious crime problems. I worked with top executives in law enforcement, municipal and judicial sectors and other leaders in the criminal justice community to help communities address these complex justice issues by developing empirically-based recommendations and customized solutions to persistent public safety and organizational challenges. The goal of this work was to develop holistic, tangible solutions that encompassed all facets of the community to build local capacity to implement recommendations and monitor progress for sustainable change.
The experiences of my personal and professional life have more than adequately prepared me to contribute to the work of the Commission, as I have demonstrated experience in the following:
Policy & Practice
• Reviewing, customizing and developing policing policy and procedures in accordance with national standards; specifically, in the areas of police misconduct and discipline, use of force, organizational risk management, police accountability and the customization of Lexipol policies
• Establishing police/civilian oversight, transparency and accountability organizations • Conducting program evaluations and developing and implementing key performance indicators and to track progress toward intended outcomes
• Serving as a key contributor, panelist and trainer at international and national conferences (i.e., IACP, NOBLE, NCJ, NFCJ, PERF; see resume for an exhaustive list and organizational affiliations) Stakeholder Coordination & Collaboration, Strategic Planning & Resourcing • Understanding of the entire criminal justice system and key stakeholder groups needed to support reforms and initiatives
• Establishing criminal justice coordinating councils for top officials across all sectors of the justice system
• Facilitating community outreach and engagement; hosting/moderating townhalls, focus groups, roundtable discussions, etc.
• Developing robust strategic plans with identification and prioritization of initiatives, projects, and activities in alignment with near- and long-term goals and objectives • Understanding municipal finances; including financial structures, budget management and resource allocation
• Identifying and coordinating local, state and federal resources to support program initiatives
Application for Position of Commissioner: Supplemental Questionnaire Applicant: Angela Jackson-Castain
Expertise & Knowledge Base
• Possessing up-to-date knowledge of key issues such as racial disparities in policing and unconstitutional policing practices confronting justice and social systems • Working with and on behalf of marginalized populations to improve police interactions • Developing/coordinating effective policing solutions on a range of topics; such as racial bias, mental health, substance abuse, recidivism, juvenile justice, domestic and intimate partner violence and homelessness
My hope is to be able to leverage these skills and experience to enhance the work of the Commission.
Through my working relationships with renowned experts and national organizations, I am well- positioned to bring innovative solutions to the Oakland Police Department and the City of Oakland.
I voted to establish the Commission in 2016 and I am still committed to its vision and mission to improve upon and ensure best practices in policing, specifically for people of color and other marginalized groups.
Moreover, I am personally committed to the eradication of systemic racism and injustice. Working with the Oakland Police Commission would provide me an opportunity to directly contribute to the growth and development of my community.
2. Please describe your contacts or experiences with the Oakland Police Department.
Aside from the D.A.R.E. program as an Oakland public school student and more recent requests for support from law enforcement/community liaison officer to address specific incidents/concerns in my West Oakland neighborhood, I have had virtually no other contact with OPD. In a professional capacity, the local departments I have worked directly with include Richmond, Vallejo and Salinas PDs.
3. Please describe, if applicable, if you or an immediate family member has had significant volunteer or employment experience: (a) as a police officer, (b) as a criminal prosecutor or defense attorney, (c) with a public agency or nonprofit community group serving or advocating for crime victims or persons charged or convicted of crimes.
N/A; neither I nor an immediate family member has worked or volunteered in these roles. I have only worked with the aforementioned in a professional capacity.
4. Have you ever served on a board, committee, commission, or other group? (Examples might include church boards or school organizations.) Please describe your experiences. What were the most challenging aspects of your participation?
YWCA Berkeley/Oakland Board of Directors
For the last five years, I have served as a Board member on the Board of Directors for the YWCA Berkeley/Oakland to support of its mission to eliminate racism and empower women. I am currently on the Executive Committee and have served on a variety of subcommittees; such as the Asset, Financial Development, Program & Policy, Nominating, and Personnel committees. I supported the development, review and approval of annual budgets, audits; evaluated and nominated potential candidates for membership; supported program leads in delivering the YWCA programs’ services to Oakland and Berkeley; and participated and spearheaded funding raising events.
Application for Position of Commissioner: Supplemental Questionnaire Applicant: Angela Jackson-Castain
Some of the most challenging aspects of my participation has been around representation. Until recently, I have been serving as the youngest Board member and being a Black woman on a Board that has historically been comprised of more affluent, white women closely aligned to the University (Cal Berkeley). Therefore, the approach to delivering services to underserved members of the community, in particular school-aged girls in Oakland, has come from a limited vantage point and perhaps, a lack of understanding of what needs should be met through our programming.
As a result, we have shifted the focus of the Board to improve understanding and awareness of systemic racism and the cascading impacts. As a Board, we recently received racial justice and anti-racism training, we are launching an initiative on digital equity and partnering with other organizations to align investments as shareholders to promote social corporate responsibility, particularly in the realm of diversity, equity and inclusion.
Other Local Activities
Active member of the National Alumnae Association of Spelman College – Bay Area Chapter, volunteer in Oakland Public School District, PICO California, and Faith in Action. As a youth, served as the Chair of the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Commission for the City of Oakland and Chair of the Northern California chapter of A Better Chance.
