Who are the NN experts?

Measure NN requires a panel of experts to be a part of planning for increased public safety. Who are these experts? What are their credentials? Who appoints them? Can the community nominate people for consideration? What is the process for that?

These five experts must meet rigorous criteria including professional and/or academic expertise in public safety, emergency response and violence prevention. By statute, at least one must have law enforcement experience and at least one must be themselves impacted by violence. The slate of commissioners must be approved by both the Mayor and City Council. Community members can nominate themselves or others through the City’s boards and commissions web page run by the City Administrator.
