This two-part City Club program series will examine local law enforcement through the lens of recent events. Today’s program will focus on our city’s current system of police oversight.  Police Auditor Mark Gissiner, Professor Michael Hames- García, and Black Unity activist Isiah Wagoner will describe how the system works. They will also highlight potential deficits in that approach and identify opportunities for oversight reform.

This timely and urgent conversation will survey Eugene’s history of law enforcement in light of the larger issues around police accountability and reform. At the heart of these programs is a question:  How can we cultivate and enforce greater equity, justice, and public safety in our community, in light of where we’ve been and what direction we want to head?
