As reported by Jessica Garate and KRQE, the Journal and the Trib, the Community Safety Commission has made their recommendation on the course of action for the APS and its police department.
Their recommendation is to make APS police a fully authorized and accredited law enforcement department.
That was not the recommendation of the "experts" brought in to review the APS PD.
When the Council of Great City Schools investigated the administration of the APS PD, they concluded that,
these people shouldn't be responsible for a full fledged professional police force.
They wrote;
The failure of the district's Board of Education and its executive leadership to act on recommendations contained in previous APS PD studies suggests that they lack the interest and the capacity to oversee the functions of the department.
The commission ignored this finding apparently because they rejected the finding outright, or because they have established that the finding is no longer true.
There is no evidence of substantive change; and no reason to believe that the same individuals who a few months ago lacked the interest and capacity to oversee a police department; have magically acquired an interest and the attendant skill sets.
If evidence were presented; it would be suspect; because as the Council of Great City schools noted in their report;
"The team was advised that there is a prevailing culture..." (of deliberate deception in the leadership of the APS).
Submitted as proof;
the leadership of the APS continues to hide results of the independent investigation of the corruption and incompetence in the APS PD.
