One in every three San Jose police officers had some kind of complaint lodged against them in 2021, according to a new report.
The figure is one of the key findings in an annual report from the San Jose Independent Police Auditor, which will be formally presented to the city council on Tuesday.
While she says the office has no power to actually mandate changes, Cordell said it does have the ability to bring issues of concern to the public. "So I am not surprised by that at all. And I don’t think that that number itself says very much. What you want to look at are what kinds of allegations are contained in those complaints," Cordell said.
The report says the department received more than 120 allegations of bias-based policing or racial profiling but the department sustained none of them.
