Police Oversight & Accountability Commission (POAC) Community Engagement

Welcome to the Police Oversight & Accountability Commission (POAC)

Community Engagement Page

The City Council, the Vallejo Police Department, and City Leadership staff have made a firm commitment to our ongoing police reform efforts. One of the key aspects of our ongoing efforts is the establishment of a model of independent oversight for the Vallejo Police Department. In working toward this effort, the City committed to a robust community engagement program that provided multiple input points for the entire community and did not pre-determine or assume any preferred model.
