Community Public Safety Advisory Board to issue letters of support to chief after closed session
Summary
The Community Public Safety Advisory Board, with Greg Grama filling in for Chair Diana Berry, entered a closed session and directed staff to issue letters of support to the Oklahoma City Chief of Police for a list of cases; no public comments were received and the meeting adjourned.
Greg Grama, filling in for Chair Diana Berry, opened the Community Public Safety Advisory Board meeting and reviewed the board’s role in overseeing complaint reviews and administrative investigations involving Oklahoma City public safety officers.
"Do I have a motion to accept the minutes and a second, please?" Grama asked during routine proceedings; a board member replied "Yes," though no named mover or seconder is recorded in the transcript.
Grama reminded residents that the public comment period is for raising specific complaints or compliments but that a formal complaint process exists for case-level matters, and he asked whether anyone had signed up to speak; none had.
The board entered a closed session. After returning, an unidentified board member announced that "for cases 20 25 12 0 9, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, the board will be issuing a letter of support to the chief of police." The transcript does not record a roll-call vote or the exact text of the letters; the action appears as a formal direction to issue letters of support.
The same speaker noted that board member Kenneth Morgan was absent, congratulating Morgan and his wife, Evelyn, on the birth of their first grandchild. The meeting concluded shortly thereafter with the board standing adjourned.
Next steps: the transcript does not specify who will draft or deliver the letters, a timeline for their issuance, or whether the board approved the letters by vote; those details were not provided in the record.
