Fort Worth city officials have narrowed their search for the next director of police oversight down to two finalists.
“I think they’re [candidates] going to have to be open. They’re going to have to be very much based on relationships. They’ll need to have good relationships, with the city manager, elected officials, with community members especially,” Washington said.
The OPOM stems from a recommendation made by Fort Worth’s Race and Culture Task Force, which Bob Ray Sanders co-chaired. “The community does not trust the internal affairs division of police department. That’s the main reason we recommended a police monitor and a citizen’s review board. They don’t trust what happens internally,” Sanders said. “To have that second look is very important. They don't trust the people who are in charge of the police department. They just don’t. That’s sad, but it’s the truth.”“The person has to be strong enough to be very independent.
“From why do they want to be in Fort Worth, are they going to stay in Fort Worth? They really can ask the gamut,” Washington said. “Whoever it is really has to fit in with the community and really be comfortable fielding those questions.” The candidates will be interviewed by city leadership on Thursday. Washington said a decision will likely be made in the coming weeks.
