Sonoma County’s Independent Office of Law Enforcement Review and Outreach, or IOLERO, is charged with auditing misconduct cases and improving the community’s trust in law enforcement. But some say it doesn’t have enough funding to do its job. That’s where Measure P comes in. If passed, the measure would secure more independence and funding for the office. KRCB’s Adia White spoke with the former director, Jerry Threet, about what the office does and why he believes it needs more funding.
