DESCRIPTION:The BART police oversight subcommittee will likely present three options 
 for police oversight and vote on which proposal to move forward with at 
 their next meeting.  One will be their original weak plan presented on May 
 15th, whereby oversight is primarily conducted by an Independent Auditor 
 who has no power to recommend discipline and a Citizen's Advisory Committee 
 that has no power whatsoever.  Another is likely to be a true civilian 
 oversight plan, whereby a citizen board can recommend discipline and where 
 the BART Board of Directors can hear appeals of citizen complaints.  The 
 third will probably be some phony "compromise" version that kowtows to the 
 BPD police unions while citizen involvement is muted.  \n\nThe best chance 
 the community has of assuring that there are no more murders of Jerrold 
 Halls, Bruce Edward Sewards, or Oscar Grants is to push the subcommittee 
 and BART Board Directors to choose a model that allows for true civilian 
 oversight, including access to all relevant information and the ability to 
 recommend discipline for offending BPD officers.   It is also important 
 that appeals related to complaints can rise to the BART Board rather than 
 ending with the police chief and the general manager, both of whom the 
 public has no faith in now.  \n\nMake your voice heard at the subcommittee 
 meeting on Monday, June 8, 2009, at 10:00 a.m. in the BART Board Room at 
 344 20th St., third floor, Oakland, CA.   Once the subcommittee selects a 
 model, it will be far more difficult for the public to push for better 
 models.\n\n\nFor more info on the BART civilian oversight process thus far,
