Salem City Council may revisit reappointment of board member with past murder conviction
The Salem City Council is reconsidering the reappointment of Kyle Hedquist, who has a past murder conviction, to the city's community police review board. The Salem City Council is considering revisiting the reappointment of Kyle Hedquist, a member of the city's Community Police Review Board (CPSB), who has a past murder conviction. The council voted 5-4 on December 8 to reappoint Hedquist to the police review board and also appointed him to the Citizens Advisory Traffic Commission and the Civil Service Commission. The board, a volunteer advisory body, reviews complaints about police conduct and provides recommendations to the chief. Following the decision, public safety unions created a website called Safety for Salem, urging people to contact their councilor to "clean up this mess." The controversy is less about Hedquist as an individual and more about fixing the city’s oversight process.
