With the Fresno City Council wrapping up picking the finalist for it's Independent, (but toothless) Police Auditor, the idea of Police Accountability is growing in many cities.

NEXT Friday, August 14th at 1:30 PM Making Contact will have a program, on KFCF - FM 88.1 MHz in Fresno, that looks at what is happening with "Breaking Through The Wall of Blue Silence.


Who polices the police? Do you or your neighbors have any say in the way your town’s cops and sheriffs do business? For more than 35 years, cities around the country have been creating civilian oversight agencies - trying to make local police and sheriffs accountable to the communities they serve. On this edition, producer Andrew Stelzer takes a look at the ongoing battle between the people and the police - and the debate over who gets to decide when an officer has done something wrong.

my input; there many wonderful police officers, but there is a lot of abuse in the FPD and it starts with the leadership.
