Armenian group presses City Council hopefuls on creating commission
Forum talks police panel
February 14, 2013|By Brittany Levine, [email protected]
The majority of City Council candidates at a forum held by the
Armenian National Committee Glendale chapter this week said they were
in support of creating a police commission.
The push for a police commission is not new, but it has been revived
since Armenian police officers filed a discrimination lawsuit against
the department, said Berdj Karpetian, chairman of the Glendale
chapter's board of directors.
`We're going to start bringing it up more and more,' Karpetian said
after the forum, noting that while the city has implemented more
diverse hiring strategies in recent years, the advocacy group is
concerned about how much upward mobility Armenian officers have.
