<br />There is created and established an appointed body of the City Council to be known as the
<br />Community Police Review Board and hereinafter called "board" or "CPRB."
<br />1-3-1720 Membership and Conditions of Holding Office.
<br />(a) The board shall consist of nine (9) members. The membership shall include one member
<br />from each of the six (6) Council Member Districts, an at large member appointed by the
<br />Mayor pursuant to Section 1-3-110
<br />AZps:Hgcode.us/codes/sanleandro/view.php?cite=section 1-3-110&confidence=8> of this
<br />Code and two Student Members, as defined by San Leandro Municipal Code section 1-3-
<br />110.
<br />1. Each member shall be a resident of the city.
<br />2. Subject to the receipt of enough qualified applicants, the Council must appoint a
<br />majority of members to the board who reflect the diversity of the City, by including
<br />members who represent the City's diverse geographic areas and socio-economic,
<br />cultural, racial, ethnic, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, and age differences,
<br />and who have differing personal backgrounds, education, occupations, and life
<br />experiences.
<br />3. To ensure the board's independence from the San Leandro Police Department and
<br />other law enforcement agencies, no current or former employee of a police department
<br />or other law enforcement agency may serve on the board. In addition, no immediate
<br />family or household member, defined as the parent, spouse, domestic partner, sibling,
<br />child, or cohabitant, of a law enforcement officer, who works or worked for a law
<br />enforcement agency, may serve on the board. For purposes of this prohibition, law
<br />enforcement agencies include police departments of all cities, as well as all public
<br />agencies, county, state, and federal law enforcement officers, and city, county, state,
<br />and federal prosecutors and public defenders.
