The police missed a deadline, sparking a court battle where the city argues sensitive info—like sexual assault and domestic violence details—needs judicial safeguards before release. The union claims the process violates its contract and questions the legal foundation of the inspector general’s subpoena power. This clash tests the newly empowered Civilian Police Review Board, which has struggled with police cooperation since gaining expanded authority in 2020, creating a mounting backlog. Inspector General Lopez vows to push forward, warning that granting the city’s request would render the subpoena power ineffective and silence victims’ voices.
