Community Police Review Board (CPRB) Member Information: Eligible Preference on first choice (If multiple boards are being applied for.) Interests & Experiences Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position: I am a member of an every generation law enforcement and military family. That is a bias that I watch, but my expectations for law enforcement are very high because each any negative behaviors impacts everyone on the job. My volunteer work has focused on working with minority youths who are at -risk. I moved to Johnson County in 2008, worked for SEIU, and participated in political work, as I learned about Johnson County. In 2020, I established an group called Truth Download 2020Vision where parents and black at risk youths with histories of violence could discuss and process the challenges they faced in schools. I was deeply concerned about the rage and violence increasing so, we developed functional tools and goals. I was and still am available to them any time - even tutoring in the middle of the night. I had to cap the number of teens at fourteen. Five of them are in college now and all fourteen have remained non-violent. In 2023, I began attending the Coralville Policing Advisory Board to understand more about circumstances young people were experiencing in Johnson County. I had many questions about how review boards function. I also found that I could receive excellent advice and understanding of Iowa Laws from the Coralville Police Chief. He made an invaluable advice for the young people in TD2020Vision. If he didn't have an answer he would direct me to the people who would have more insight. When I moved to Iowa City and settled in, I began attending the Iowa City Police Review Board meetings. I was impressed with the earnest nature of every member of the Review Board. I believe they have had experiences and knowledge of the application of laws that would benefit the young people I support. What is your present knowledge of each advisory board you are interested in? I have attended each Board meeting since last September and have studied the differences between Coralville's Policing Advisory Board and Iowa City's Review Board Codes and functions.
