San Jose has appointed a new independent police watchdog after months of scandal and instability plagued the office responsible for investigating officer malfeasance.
Eddie Aubrey, who heads the office of professional accountability for the Richmond Police Department, is taking his expertise down south as San Jose 's independent police auditor . The San Jose City Council appointed him on Tuesday as it received a report showing complaints against police in 2023 have dropped for the first time for the first time since 2019 -- albeit minimally. Aubrey replaces interim IPA Karyn Sinunu-Towery, who has headed the office since June.
The council instead voted to begin pursuing tweaks and improvements to the current police oversight model, including creating a uniform set of policies to guide how the IPA and SJPD's internal affairs unit work together. The decision capped more than three years of debate and delay about whether San Jose should beef up the IPA's role, following calls for greater police oversight in the wake of the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police in May 2020.
