GOOD NEWS!

We just recieved the following message from one of Councilman Worth Morgan's staff people with regard to proposed changes to CLERB's subpoena process. From what we are being told the following will be the final language in the ordinance. This is good yall. Thanks to each of you for making those calls and emails!
 
"CM Morgan asked that I share the below with you.
 
In order to carry out its functions, the board is authorized to request through its Council liaison, a subpoena to effectuate an investigation or compel attendance by an officer or witness for a hearing before the Memphis City Council. Upon investigation and fact finding, the Council liaison shall present a resolution to the full City Council to obtain the requested subpoena. Should the Council liaison fail to support the request of the board for the subpoena within the next two council meetings following the date of the request, the board Chairperson may make a recommendation to the City Council Chair. In the event the Council fails to issue the requested subpoena, the board reserves the right to file a complaint with the local and state ethics commissions, Tennessee Human Rights Commissions, or the Department of Justice to investigate the case before the CLERB board."

We would like to thank Councilman Worth Morgan for working with us to ensure that CLERB has the power & authority to provide accountable and transparent oversight of police to the people of Memphis, TN.
