Council considers subpoenas for former commissioners after delayed IA paperwork and no discipline

The committee discussed whether to exercise subpoena power to obtain testimony from former police commissioners implicated in the camera‑room IA file. Chair (speaker 1) urged deeper review and said subpoenas to former commissioners Gramaglia and Wright should be considered so the council can “talk to them regarding their thought process and how they arrived at their determination.”

Assistant Corporation Counsel Lisa Yeager (speaker 6) told the committee the council does have subpoena power and indicated the former commissioners are local. Members asked the law department to pursue further communications and follow‑up; no subpoenas were issued in the meeting record, but members expressed interest in coordinating with the law department to determine next steps.
