What meeting did you attend (name of the body, whether it was a regular or special meeting, etc)?
California Racial and Identity Profiling Advisory Board “Calls for Service” Subcommittee regular meeting.
Did you attend the whole meeting?
I joined at the beginning, but missed some and left early at 11:58.
Tell us about public input: Did it happen? How was it conducted? Did it seem adequate?
Interestingly, the public kept their own video and audio off when requested. We had access to the chat throughout the meeting but it wasn’t really used much. Several callers from all over the state, with very different perspectives, made comments and answered questions.
Tell us about the government: Who was there? Were they attentive? Were they prepared? Were they courteous with each other and the public?
