An independent auditor is releasing the results of a detailed analysis of the Santa Rosa Police Department. Southern California-based OIR Group says the department improved its accountability and handling of internal investigations last year. But, it needs to take a more comprehensive approach to analyzing police practices. OIR Group looked at 56 allegations of misconduct made against the Santa Rosa Police Department in 2023, which was a dozen fewer than in 2022. It also examined 20 random cases out of nearly 200 where officers used force. The report commended officers for activating their body-worn cameras every time they responded to a scene.
