Although, my CP the Independent Police Auditor works for the government there is no direct interaction between my community partner and the governor. My CP the IPA works directly with the City of San Jose, the mayor, and the council members as opposed to working with the governor. I believe that the governor has the authority to make an impact on my CP's operations, but because it is about the city of San Jose's officer I doubt that the governor would go and make an impact. However, the IPA-TLC was invited last summer to the capitol and received an award for being the first in the nation to create a group like this  and for all the outstanding work we are doing in San Jose. Not only do we have the support from the residents in San Jose, but we also have the support from the workers in the capitol.
