Mission
The Mission of the Independent Police Auditor Advisory Committee (IPAAC)
is to assist the Office of the Independent Police Auditor by providing
information on ways to improve the police complaint process, by promoting
public awareness of a person’s right to file a complaint, and by increasing
the accountability of the San José Police Department to the public.
Purpose and Objectives
The purpose of the IPAAC is to identify, mobilize, and coordinate resources in order
to assure maximum public, private, agency, and individual commitment to effective police oversight.
The objectives are to:
- Promote the mission of the IPA and inform the IPA of the needs,
problems, and/or issues that surface in various communities.
- Promote high standards of quality police service and civilian oversight
in the City of San José.
- Increase the visibility of the IPA through support of community events and public forums.
Participation
Participation is exclusive to those individuals selected by the Independent Police Auditor and who reside,
do business, or have significant human interest in police oversight for the City of San José or neighboring
communities. The IPA convenes meetings of the IPAAC on an average of three (3) times per year.
