Lorelei Bosserman regarding Cathy Leonard, is a member of the Community PolicingAdvisory Board, he was at the march for Nia Wilson on Monday night and two of thepolice officers present had shot black people in the past and that seemed like a badchoice to send them to that march. She suggested that the Chief of Police be contactedregarding this matter.

Saleem Bey said it was suggested that he come before this Commission and announcewhat was going on in his case(s). He gave a brief overview of the cases and those thatwere closed. When a case was closed, we had a meeting with the police department andthe police department came to them and said that during the seven-month investigation,they couldn't find any files on any of the cases and still closed the case but sustainedthat there was systemic failure in the investigation of this case. This is something thatwe called the unicorn letter because it is something that you never see. You never see apolice department admit that they did something wrong.

Mr. Bey also spoke about the CPRB closing a case. In 2005 my brother was ambushedby three teenagers in Montclair at 6:30 a.m. In 2005 the police closed that case in 63days. They told them that for the next four years up until 2011 that they are working onthe case. It wasn't until 2011 in a request for documentation associated with thesecases, that we found that the case was closed in two months and three days. What weended up doing was filing a complaint. What ended up happening in 2007 was that Imade another complaint with the CPRB and 07-0538. In that 2007 complaint, hecomplained against failure to investigate my brother's 2005 case as well as my otherbrother's 2004 case in which he was murdered. It turns out that the police department
