Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao has removed former Alameda County Judge Brenda Harbin-Forte from the Oakland Police Commission, the Mayor’s Office has confirmed with KTVU.
Harbin-Forte’s official term on the Commission ended on Oct. 16, 2022, and she’s since remained on the Commission in an at-will status at the discretion of the Mayor’s Office.
The move comes amid a flurry of recent controversies surrounding infighting among commissioners, calls for the body's chair to resign, and protests over the dysfunction of the citizen group charged with taking the lead onHarbin-Forte's status on the Commission was discussed during a meeting with Thao on June 23, according to a letter Thao sent to Harbin-Forte obtained by KTVU.
The same day of the protest, the Coalition for Police Accountability – a progressive group of police reform advocates – Harbin-Forte’s removal also comes after a recent contentious Police Commission meeting during which Milele accused the people seeking her removal of a "coordinated attack staged by the colluding members of the [Police Commission], the [Coalition for Police Accountability], and the chair of the selection panel.
