​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

In August and September of 2021, the City of Phoenix conducted a community survey to inform the search for the Director of the Office of Accountability and Transparency – the office that monitors and provides civilian oversight of administrative investigations of possible misconduct by sworn personnel of the Phoenix Police Department. 

More than 2500 community members participated in the survey, yielding 5 clear top priorities for the Office to focus on:
  1. ​Meet with community members and all stakeholders.
  2. Establish credibility.
  3. Gain understanding of the Phoenix community.
  4. Respond to community concerns.
  5. Develop a fair and balanced process.
The City of Phoenix is partnering with the executive search firm PoliHire to conduct a nationwide search for the next Director of the Office of Accountability and Transparency. We are reaching out to community members to gather any additional insights or considerations as we review applications and engage with potential candidates.

Please click here to share your ideas directly with PoliHire. Your input will supplement and update the feedback we received from the 2021 survey. Your participation is highly encouraged and greatly appreciated.

Please respond on or before September 9th, 2024.
