Audits and reviews rely on the questions asked and the metrics required.

Audits and reviews rely on the questions asked and the metrics required.

A group with police ties does not have to be lax on police violence and can promote change. If the audit parameters are written set by a wide group of stakeholders and the audit reviewed by non-officers who can do spot checks there is room for continuous improvement. But only if the departments are held accountable for change.

A couple of questions I would have off the bat is whether the proportion of arrests match the population demographics and the charges are consistent across all the arrests. One big question is the goal of policing. Jailing people for breaking windows does not seem like a good use of resources.
