Community Police Review Board (CPRB) Member Information: Eligible Preference on first choice (If multiple boards are being applied for.) Community Police Review Board Interests & Experiences Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position As a public defender I work with individuals accused of wrong doing and work to ensure that their due process rights are followed. As part of my work I also participate in fact-finding investigations. I feel my work as a public defender would bring a unique perspective to the board in working to make sure that allegations of misconduct are properly addressed and that investigations are properly conducted. I previously served as a City Commissioner in Dubuque from 2016-2018. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in? My understanding of the CPRB is that it investigates complaints and ensures that investigations into police misconduct by the Iowa City Police Department are properly conducted in a fair manner. In addition, my understanding is that the CPRB reviews police policies, procedures, and practices, and may recommend modifications to them to the City Council. I would like to serve on this commission for two reasons. First, I want to be involved in my community in some form of civic engagement. Second, I feel strongly about ensuring that we have a police force with community oversight and accountability to ensure public trust and safety.
