THREE MEMBERS OF ALBUQUERQUE'S POLICE OVERSIGHT COMMISSION RESIGN, SAYING THE BOARD THAT REVIEWS COMPLAINTS AGAINST POLICE HAS NO REAL AUTHORITY. JONATHAN SIEGEL, RICHARD SHINE AND JENNIFER BARELA SENT THEIR RESIGNATION LETTERS TO MAYOR BERRY TUESDAY.
IN HIS LETTER, SIEGEL SAYS THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE HAS IMPEDED THE COMMISSION'S ABILITY TO CARRY OUT ITS DUTIES.
ON MONDAY, THE CITY COUNCIL WILL CONSIDER LEGISLATION THAT WOULD REVAMP THE POLICE OVERSIGHT PROCESS.
