Antioch Police Oversight Commission
The Police Oversight Commission provides independent community oversight of the Antioch Police Department and plays a critical role in promoting transparency, accountability, and public trust.
Vice Chair Devin Williams of the Police Oversight Commission stated, “The continued appointments to the Police Oversight Commission reflect a renewed commitment to transparency, accountability, and community trust in Antioch. While the commission has experienced transitions, it is encouraging to see residents still stepping forward to serve – including the next generation of leaders. That willingness speaks volumes about our community’s investment in strengthening public safety through independent oversight. I look forward to the important work ahead as we continue building a commission that reflects the voices and values of Antioch.”
Planning Commission
The Planning Commission serves as an advisory body to the City Council on matters related to land use, development, zoning, and long-range planning, helping guide Antioch’s growth and community development efforts.
