Police Oversight Model Public
Outreach/Community Engagement
Plan
Mike Malone, Interim City Manager
Veronica A.F. Nebb, City Attorney
March 22, 2022
City Commitment to Collaborative
Reform
The City Council, the Vallejo Police Department and City Leadership staff have made a firm commitment to our
ongoing police reform efforts.
One of the key aspects of our ongoing efforts is the
establishment of a model of independent oversight for the Vallejo Police Department.
Background
The City engaged the services of the OIR Group to conduct an Independent Assessment of the Operations, Internal Review Systems and Agency Culture of the Vallejo Police Department in 2019. In May of 2020, the OIR Group provided its written report and recommendations (OIR Report). The OIR Report recommended that the City develop a model for independent oversight of the Police Department with community input.
OIR Recommendation 44
“VPD should develop a way to obtain feedback and input from its community when contemplating major policy changes or public safety strategies.”
OIR Recommendation 45
“VPD should work with City leadership to create a model of independent oversight specifically tailored to meet the needs of Vallejo.”
Background (continued)
The City is currently working with the California Department of Justice, under a collaborative agreement, relating to the recommendations set forth in the OIR Report on police reform efforts.
In this regard, the team working on Recommendations 44 and 45 have committed to a robust community engagement
program that provides multiple input points for the entire community, does not pre‐determine or assume any preferred model and does not seek to, in any way, restrict the input of our community and interested stakeholders, including
members of the Vallejo Police Department.
Community Engagement Plan Key
Components
March 2022
City Manager and City Attorney to prepare Oversight Model Matrix describing key oversight models.
By end of March 2022
City Communications staff to prepare and launch a web location for the process to include the following uses during the process:
Central location where public can provide written input Description of input deadlines
Ability for public to access all distributed materials Access to notices for all public meetings
Access to feedback from community meetings
Copies of the Oversight Model Matrix, draft ordinance and other relevant materials will be posted when available
“Post Back” on community input and response in relation to recommended action
Community Engagement Plan
