# Civilian Police Oversight Advisory Board - October 6, 2026

The Upper East Civilian Police Oversight Advisory Board met on October 6, 2026. No contract awards, bids, or major purchasing decisions were reported. In a monthly update, the board noted that its Council of Chairs had voted to replace an older Owl camera with a newer-generation model; no cost, vendor, or purchasing timeline was provided. Albuquerque Community Safety (ACS) reported continued expansion of its school-based violence intervention work and said a public-safety tax reappropriation measure—not a tax increase—was on the fall ballot. The meeting did not include an allocation or procurement action tied to that measure.

The board reviewed APD and CPOA activity, including September investigation and use-of-force statistics, and unanimously affirmed the CPOA director’s findings in two appeals. It accepted APD policy recommendations concerning grooming standards and audits of low-level control tactics. Members favored expediting proposed revisions to SOP 2-104 on civil disputes and possible criminal conduct, but unanimously deferred action until staff clarify the policy’s review schedule; the item is to return at a future meeting. No contract amounts or vendors were identified.
