Council members reopened applications for the board last Tuesday and have placed additional consideration on African American candidates between the ages of 18 and 35.
AKRON, Ohio — As the Akron community prepares for challenging days ahead, City Council still has to decide on one final candidate to be seated on the newly created Citizens’ Police Oversight Board.
President Margo Sommerville says their decision comes just two weeks before a special grand jury will review evidence in the police shooting death of Jayland Walker last year. “I'm happy that they're trying to be intentional about filling that seat with someone who is young, Black, between that sort of age range,” said Imokhai Okolo.
