A longtime advocate for social change in Los Angeles could become the city’s newest Police Commission member, replacing a member of the oversight panel who is stepping down from her post. Mayor Eric Garcetti said Monday that he had nominated Shane Murphy Goldsmith to the five-person Police Commission. “Her work will continue to be felt in the progress she helped to bring about,” Garcetti said. She currently serves on the city’s homeless services authority and previously worked for Garcetti when he was a city councilman. “I am confident that her values and approach will be an asset to the Police Commission,” Garcetti said in a statement.
