## Resource

Anchorage Assembly killed a proposal to revive a public safety advisory commission—designed to give citizens a voice in policing and emergency services after a wave of police shootings—without even letting it be debated. The bill’s sponsor, Assembly member Kameron Perez-Verdia, was stunned it didn’t get a second vote. The commission would have had subpoena power and could’ve investigated specific incidents, but critics feared it lacked teeth, while some officers worried outsiders would unfairly judge their work. Perez-Verdia isn’t backing down—he’s already plotting a comeback with co-sponsors. The push for civilian oversight may have stalled, but the conversation is far from over.
