During the July 22 community forum, resident Carol Heap urged the council to require regular public reporting on police complaints and investigations. Heap asked for frequent (monthly or twice-monthly) reports listing the number of complaints received by the Vallejo Police Department, the allegation types, the geographic origin of complaints, the demographic breakdown (gender and race) of complainants and covered officers, the number of investigations completed in a reporting period, pending investigations and outcomes (without identifying officers by name).
Heap said she did not want personnel-level details or names but wanted data that would make complaint handling and accountability more transparent, including whether allegations were sustained and what discipline, if any, was imposed. "I don't want any personnel matters. I don't need to know names. It would be nice to know the gender of the officer being complained about," she said, adding that aggregated data on disciplinary outcomes would be useful.
The council did not vote on the request. Members of the council later discussed police funding and oversight; council and staff acknowledged the public interest in complaint data and the administrative complexity of reporting but did not adopt a reporting schedule at the meeting.
