Upcoming Meeting Cancellations

As we look ahead to the rest of October, the CPC would like to remind the community of some important meeting cancellations. Please be advised that the Police Accountability meeting scheduled for Tuesday, October 8th, and the Police Training Committee meeting scheduled for Wednesday, October 9th, have both been canceled.

Please also be aware that our office will be closed the week of October 14th while CPC commissioners and staff attend the 2024 annual NACOLE Conference. For the past 29 years, this five-day conference has provided a “forum for the growing community of civilian oversight practitioners, law enforcement officials, journalists, elected officials, students, community members, and others to exchange information and ideas about issues facing civilian oversight of law enforcement, jails, and prisons.”

We expect to bring back some incredible insights and knowledge from our peers, which may influence our work in the future. That being said, the Budget and Grants Committee meeting and the Police Policy Committee meeting scheduled for October 14th and 16th, respectively, have been canceled while we’re away.

In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Public Notice: Special Commission Meeting scheduled for Thursday, September 19, 2024

Over the weekend, we asked the community to share their thoughts on the candidates still in the running for the vacant Public Safety Inspector General position by completing an online survey. This public feedback form will remain open until the end of the day on Tuesday, September 17. CPC employees will then gather and analyze the responses and present the findings to the commissioners before or at the upcoming special commission meeting, scheduled for Thursday, September 19. At this meeting, the commissioners will consider all community feedback and, together, formally recommend a candidate to Mayor Justin Bibb for the Inspector General position.

Please join us at the CPC office from 6 to 7 p.m. to voice any last-minute concerns you may have during the public comment segment of our meeting. As always, we will be live-streaming the meeting on our YouTube channel. The chat box will be open, so feel free to leave questions, comments, or concerns there as well. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Emergency Budget & Grants Meeting

This meeting is called under the emergency rule to consider a proposal received for the 2024 Grants Program. The meeting is happening due to the need to consider the proposal before Wednesday’s full Commission Deadline. Technical difficulties with access to website contributed to emergency notice as well.

The meeting will occur at our CPC Offices and be broadcast on our youtube channel @clevelandCPC
