About the Office

The position of Independent Assessor was created as a result of voters approving a City Charter Amendment in March 2009. Section 523 was added providing the Independent Assessor with the power and duty to:

  1. Audit, assess and review the Fire Department's handling of complaints of misconduct committed by employee.
  2. Conduct any audit or assessment requested by majority vote of the Board of Fire Commissioners.
  3. Initiate any assessment or audit of the Fire Department or any portion of the Fire Department.

The Independent Assessor reports directly to the Board of Fire Commissioners, the civilian head of the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), and assists the Fire Commission in providing independent civilian oversight of the LAFD.
