Daily News | Philly’s new police oversight board, first proposed in 2020, is inching toward reality
creating a new police-oversight agency, the process of actually empaneling the group is inching toward the finish line.
That nomination process itself took several months — one potential commissioner was replaced after concerns about his candidacy were raised at a virtual town hall in early February — and is not yet complete. Council is expected to hold its own public vetting session in the coming weeks before voting on the nominees.
Funding, however, is also not yet set. The city is heading into budget season, with officials from nearly every agency jockeying to secure money for the next fiscal year. Anthony Erace, executive director of the current advisory commission, said the CPOC would likely request around $2.7 million — a significant jump from this year, in which Erace said oversight spending was a bit under $1 million, and nearly five times what had been spent on the old advisory commission.
Samantha Williams, Jones’ director of policy and a key figure in the group’s planning, put it simply: “I hope it is every bit as impactful as we dreamed it would be.”
