Community Engagement
The OIG is committed to transparency and accountability. We combine our substantive work with robust and easily accessible communications and public outreach. These interactions help the OIG identify community needs and concerns.
Summer Listening Tour 2025
The OIG is going to libraries across the city to hear community members' experiences with OPD's policies and procedures. Your input directly shapes our work, potentially leading to reviews and reports that can make a real difference in improving policing for all.
