Community Safety and Police AccountabilityThe Campaign for Community Safety and Police Accountability (CCSPA) works to challenge the racism inherent in the city of Oakland’s policing practices and fights to hold officers accountable to the community they serve by documenting and validating incidents of police misconduct and organizing community members to advocate for more responsive and accountable police practices.
PUEBLO attends Racially Biased Policing Training 
PUEBLO was invited by the Oakland :Police Department to participate in a two day training on Racially Biased Policing. This session was co-sponsored by the Oakland and Berkeley Police Departments and the top command staff of each Department attend. It was considered important to have community stakeholders present, as well as police officers. In addition to PUEBLO, the Berkeley Chapters of the ACLU and the NAACP also attended the training.
The instructor was Dr. Lorie Fridell, the former Director of Research at the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), a national expert on racial profiling, or what she terms 'racially biased policing.'
It's Time to Act!
It's time to act, We want citizen complaints to go to the CPRB instead of Internal Affairs! The City Council passed a resolution to close Internal Affairs to complaints and send them to the Citizens' Police Review Board (CPRB) but without funding, it won't happen.
