Vagim on an independent police auditor


question: 
Do you support or oppose an independent police auditor? Why?
answer: 

I can’t support an independent police auditor. That position is just another way for the elected officials of the city to dodge responsibility. The mayor is responsible for the performance of the police chief through the city manager and together they are responsible for the police department. As a publicly elected official the mayor can not and should not remove himself from the responsibility of public oversight.
