Arizona consultant Eileen Luna-Firebaugh will now present her controversial report on the Independent Police Review to city council next Wednesday, after all.

Luna-Firebaugh is the author of a report released in January, saying the public doesn’t trust Portland’s police review process. She’s a professor of criminology and used to run the Berkeley Police Review, among others.

As of yesterday, she still didn’t have plane tickets to come and present her report here in Portland, triggering concerns about how many of her recommendations might be acted upon by council, or whether they might be inclined to ignore much of her criticism.

“I am very pleased to be coming to Portland to deliver the report,” she tells the Mercury, having got an email yesterday evening from the mayor’s office, asking her to come.

Luna-Firebaugh will miss a Tuesday work session, when city council will discuss her report without taking public comment. She plans to arrive that evening at 11:30 to present to council the following morning, Wednesday March 19.
