A former Los Angeles police officer with wide experience in America's justice system is Fresno's first police auditor. Eddie J. Aubrey, 50, was introduced by city officials Wednesday afternoon as director of the city's new Office of Independent Review. His selection is a milestone in Fresno's long effort to ensure civilian oversight of police. It also is a public-policy success for Mayor Ashley Swearengin, who made the office a cornerstone of her mayoral campaign last year. Aubrey will be charged with providing independent review of some police department internal investigations, and his appointment comes in the wake of three recent officer-involved shootings, including two that left men dead.

Fresno is a smoggy, highly unemployed, crime and poverty ridden city often ranking at the bottom 90% of American cities. Change is needed desperately. I wish Fresno's first Police auditor all the best. The city needs a turn a round.
