Dallas’ top police watchdog is leaving her job after three years overseeing complaints into the nation’s ninth largest police department, an unprecedented...
Jesuorobo Enobakhare Jr., chairman of Dallas’ Community Police Oversight Board, said McClary made history as the first police monitor and director of oversight, and “every action she took in this dual role was historic.”She took a blank canvas, he said, and created policies and procedures for the ordinance that governed the oversight office while supporting the oversight board.
McClary navigated numerous obstacles and was outspoken about the challenges of her job. The ordinance governing the office lacks specifics on when and how Dallas police should share information with oversight. One of the most salient concerns repeated in the board’s monthly meetings revolved around officers’ unwillingness to cooperate. The Dallas Police Association encourages officers to ignore oversight interview requests, and the vast majority have done just that, oversight officials have said. The ordinance allows officers to refuse subpoenas, McClary has said.Mike Mata, president of the Dallas Police Association, could not be reached for comment late Thursday.
