The city of San Jose will hold a community meeting tonight to gather input about the recruitment of a new independent police auditor.
Earlier this month, the San Jose City Council approved a four-week extension of the outreach period in the recruitment process to find a replacement for acting independent police auditor Shivaun Nurre.
The action came in response to complaints of inadequate community outreach by human resources firm Avery & Associates.
The initial phase of the recruitment process was completed Jan. 22 and garnered nearly 50 applications.
Tonight’s meeting will be facilitated by Paul Kimura of Avery & Associates and Heather Ruiz, San Jose’s deputy director of human resources.
The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. at the Roosevelt Community Center at 901 East Santa Clara St.
