Speaking
Shenmiakhu had the honor of working with the Coalition of Police Accountability in defunding the Oakland Police Department and redirecting its budget to fund the community-led Civilian Police Review Board, which oversees complaints against and policies of the Oakland Police Department. It is now one of the strongest in the nation.
He settled a lawsuit against a police department in California that resulted in a monetary settlement and disciplinary actions against the officers involved. Shenmiakhu served as NAACP Legal Redress Committee Chairman to advocate for the rights of students and community members who were
survivors of racial profiling and hate crimes. He served as a Board Member of the statewide Law Enforcement Data Collection and Policy Review Committee, which worked to eliminate racial profiling at traffic stops.
Shenmiakhu co-founded Community Conscious Policing, a public-health-centered response model to build peace and end unnecessary and inappropriate law enforcement violence. He has been featured on national radio, television, and podcasts such as Forbes, TMZ Live, and public radio.
A few highlights from Shenmiakhu’s legacy and track record:
● Co-established: Portland Committee on Community-Engaged Policing for the Mayor of Portland
