In June 2020, following the murder of George Floyd, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors established an Ad Hoc Process to address racial justice and police reform in Alameda County. The effort was led by Supervisor Nate Miley in conjunction with Supervisor Richard Valle. To date, the Ad Hoc Process has engaged more than 300 individuals throughout the County. They represent a broad-based and diverse group of thought leaders and community stakeholders from youth and faith-based organizations, philanthropy, County departments, educators, community-based organizations, and formerly incarcerated individuals. In addition, discussion groups to gain insight regarding social justice and police reform were conducted with County department heads, mayors, city managers, and law enforcement leaders from local jurisdictions throughout Alameda County.

We created three focus areas – or buckets – based on insight from the community thought leaders and vetted with the individuals listed above. The buckets are Community Reinvestment Strategies, Sheriff’s Office Accountability, and Surface and Address Systemic Racism. Each bucket has action items that community thought leaders felt are necessary to achieve racial justice and police reform in the County. This page makes public the materials and work associated with the Ad Hoc Process. As racial justice and police reform work continues in Alameda County, we will update this landing page. For more information about the Ad Hoc Process call Supervisor Nate Miley’s Office at (510) 272-6694.
