The Committee members have met with topic experts, reviewed the material from seven public meetings held by the Police Commission, analyzed the results from a public survey administered by the City of Los Angeles Personnel Department, and crafted a succinct document which will assist the Los Angeles Police Commissioners.
UPDATE ON THE PROCESS:
With the criteria prepared by the Blue Ribbon Committee now in hand, the Los Angeles Police Commissioners will review the list of candidates for interview consideration. After the interviews are complete, the Police Commission shall forward a list of three finalists, in order of preference, to the Mayor for final selection.
