Council Appoints Insider to Audit SJPDby Erin Sherbert on Apr 16, 2009San Jose City Council unanimously voted to appoint city hall insider Chris Constantin as the city’s new Independent Police Auditor. Constantin currently serves as the Senior Program Performance Auditor in San Jose’s City Auditor’s Office, where he’s overseen recent reviews of police and other public safety programs. In 2005, Constantin became a reserve police officer for the City of Hayward. Constantin was hired more than four months after the council booted former IPA Barbara Attard in December. When the council decided not to renew her contract, according to Attard, the mayor said he didn’t want to spend the next four years debating her authority. Attard was viewed as one of the city’s most aggressive independent police auditors who publicly challenged the current auditing practices and pushed the council to give her office more power to audit police shootings and other incidents. by Erin Sherbert on Apr 16, 2009 |
