^ challenging their process of review-

ing police action shootings.

ICLU’s action orgiginates from the fatal shooting of Pedro M. Sanchez by police. Sanchez was shot in the. face after a high speed chase when police claimed that they saw Sanchez reach for a gun; however,

no gun was found.

A civilian review board and an internal police investigation ruled the

shooting justified.

Richard I. Blankenbaker, Public Safety Director denied request by the news media and the ICLU for testimony of these police officers. “The method is shrouded in secrecy and should be open to more public scrutiny,” says Michael Lee Gradison, ICLU executive director. “All discussions at ihe hearing are secret, with only the final decision conducted in an open forum. We feel there should be some accounting for police actions.”
