Manu told the commission that meetings are scheduled only quarterly, that the commission lacks an active website and social media, and that the public “doesn’t even know this commission even exists.” He also listed several legal settlements and outcomes involving the city and NCPD, saying, “Jesus Flores versus National City settled for 1,500,000.0. Harold McNeil versus National City settled for 300 ks. Tony Wilson versus National City settled for $3.50 ks. Brian Lumana versus National City settled for 1,000,000. And Ashley Cummings versus National City was awarded 10,000,000.”

Manu additionally alleged racial slurs by a former NCPD officer and questioned the timing of retirements by officers he named in connection with the Cummins case. He said state-level records (which he cited as “senate bill 16 and senate bill 14 21”) have not been updated in the city’s public records since 2023 and urged more urgency from the commission in holding police accountable.

The commission did not take formal action on Manu’s allegations during the meeting. Commissioners later discussed community outreach and said they would explore ways to increase public awareness of the CPRC’s role and meetings.

Manu’s remarks at the meeting were delivered during the public-comment agenda item; commissioners and staff did not dispute or confirm the specific settlement amounts or personnel actions he cited during the session.

The commission’s next regular meeting is scheduled for Nov. 20, 2025, at 6 p.m., when members said they plan to continue discussing public engagement and outreach.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","National City - Community and Police Relations Commission","oneSentenceSummary","Roberto Manu, a National City resident, used the commission’s public-comment period on Aug. 21 to criticize the Community and Police Relations Commission’s outreach and to allege a pattern of misconduct by the National City Police Department (NCPD).","taxTitle","National City, San Diego County, California","taxId",3877,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6506563,"CPRC approves training request, minutes and excused absences; city attorney reports unanimous support for eight closed-session items",0,642000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5617397-2e3ee77a35c6c19a0dc6a07f2646b225&start=642&end=642","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5617397-2e3ee77a35c6c19a0dc6a07f2646b225/thumbnail_642000.jpg","/articles/6506563/National-City/San-Diego-County/California/CPRC-approves-training-request-minutes-and-excused-absences-city-attorney-reports-unanimous-support-for-eight-closed-session-items","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6506563-b5027b7f442b904cf6f5efd647e997a5/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448601&Signature=gzeEA0eACg4NUt3IA3NkN75pWH-3NB7fjaQsajvp5jKk7crx8tWxg2WN2LONpXXkDVPPalgjcuFfTH6ZxzSi9NX4onceZfSb05~23ndoBURFT5U2f7esOFd8ikweCBFueGnyjF~YU0qWeefx0O3l8~GCIgZEUqAikZ7vbdapN6DxZk8KEuJGSj3zJuwJZesoE7WbxcHa3OVeuCjC-ragxLMaWIogTkc79WULsefNv6S8IXxebxo6kslEn-RNwtGgjaLU4OLOtbVpgYqnZrFCU2Y6vy9wtm4WTai1jBPepaQFOtLRwxgboRzanpwzo5lcTDAbyAwamcWVa8VV95nPYA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The National City Community and Police Relations Commission voted on multiple procedural items at its Aug. 21 meeting and heard a closed-session report from the city attorney.

Commissioners voted to request city-manager approval to send Commissioner Gomez to the National Association for Civilian Oversight of Law Enforcement (NACOLE) annual conference planned for October 2025 in Minneapolis. The clerk reported an estimated cost of about $2,300 for attendance; commissioners noted that final approval must come through the city manager’s office.

The commission also approved minutes from its May 15 meeting (with a proposed correction to note that Chair Orth was recorded as calling the meeting to order) and granted excused absences for Vice Chair Leslie and Police Member McClure for the May 15 meeting. All motions recorded at the meeting were carried by unanimous vote.

City Attorney Schultz reported out of closed session, saying, “All 8 items received a vote of support, by unanimous vote of the commissioners in attendance.” The commission did not disclose the substance of the eight closed-session items during the public meeting.

During commissioner reports, members discussed community engagement. Vice Chair Leslie described a June ride-along with the police department and praised officers for their “professionalism and compassion” when the department assisted her family in making a death notification. Commissioner Gomez and others proposed more public outreach at events such as National Night Out to raise awareness of the commission’s role and encourage community participation.

The commission adjourned and scheduled its next regular meeting for Nov. 20, 2025, at 6 p.m.","At its Aug. 21 meeting, the National City Community and Police Relations Commission voted unanimously to request city-manager approval to send Commissioner Gomez to the NACOLE conference, approved minutes and two excused absences, and heard a closed-session report that eight items received unanimous support","actionData","errors"]
