Moderator Gene B Herman, SJC activist and poet, will lead the panel presentation and discussion. We will define “Police Accountability”, and the following questions will be addressed: Who trains the Police to serve the public (is public defined)?; Who selects the Police Academy candidates?; What is the Police Academy syllabus?; Use of Force or Use of Words?; How do we end race-based policing?; Who allocates funding for your PD?; How many Police Academy candidates are ex-military?; How many served in Iraq or Afghanistan? How many of those have PTSD?; Should a Social Worker Degree be required for all Police Officers?; Should living in Berkeley be a requirement for all Berkeley Police Officers?
