The Las Cruces City Council met in a work session Monday to discuss the city’s new police auditing contract as well as hear from the City Art Board.
Members of the police auditing group OIR introduced themselves to the Las Cruces City Council during Monday’s work session. The council approved a contract with the auditing company, which will report findings on a semi-annual basis, in February.
Councilor Gabe Vasquez says he hopes that OIR will identify complaint trends and develop a clear narrative so that action steps can be taken when necessary.
“In our previous relationship with our police auditor, the presentations to council, I would say left a little bit to be desired, in terms of identifying the trends of just the types of complaints and whether they were substantiated or unsubstantiated,” Vasquez said.
