Aeiramique “Meeka” Glass is a national leader in criminal justice and public safety reform. With over 15 years of experience, she has dedicated the last decade to advancing police accountability and independent oversight across city, county, state, and national levels. She is known for her independence, equity-centered approach, and her ability to strengthen trust between communities and the institutions charged with protecting them through both proactive and responsive oversight.
Formerly, Aeiramique served as the Chief of Police Accountability for the City of Baltimore, where she led the Police Accountability Division, including oversight of the Civilian Review Board, Police Accountability Board, and Administrative Charging Committee. In this role, she managed one of the highest-volume and most complex civilian oversight caseloads in Maryland, overseeing the intake, review, and monitoring of hundreds of complaints annually across multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Baltimore Police Department under a federal consent decree. She directed investigative review processes, monitored agency compliance, oversaw adjudication procedures and disciplinary recommendations, and led the production of the Police Accountability Board’s first Annual Report. Aeiramique also advocated for the Board to gain and operate with the full independence required under Maryland state law and national best practices and fought to ensure that community oversight could function as intended.
Before her work in Baltimore, Aeiramique served as a Program Manager for Los Angeles County, helping shape major countywide criminal justice and public safety reforms during a historic shift away from traditional law-enforcement-driven approaches. At the same time, she served as Chairwoman of the San Diego Chief of Police Board of Advisors, where she influenced department-wide policy and practices. Aeiramique also played a central role in transitioning the City of San Diego’s former Civilian Review Board into the Measure B mandated independent Commission on Police Practices, expanding investigative authority, independence, and civilian oversight power citywide. She also served as an advisor to the San Diego County Chief of Probation, supporting efforts to transition the region’s juvenile detention system into the new Youth Transition Campus (YTC), a trauma-informed, restorative model replacing the former juvenile hall system.
Aeiramique’s broader work spans racial justice, restorative justice, crisis response, crime prevention, community-led public safety, and alternatives to traditional law-enforcement intervention. She has partnered with community leaders, policymakers, universities, and law-enforcement officials to address systemic inequities and build accountability structures grounded in transparency, fairness, and public trust.
She also served as a consultant for the National Conflict Resolution Center, training law enforcement, bringing communities and law enforcement together, leading mediation and restorative justice efforts, and helping strengthen countywide approaches to prevention and accountability. Aeiramique collaborated with San Diego State University and the University of San Diego’s Institute for Peace and Justice, contributing to public-safety training and serving as a co-coordinator in the development of the Building Trust Community–Police Handbook. Aeiramique’s justice-centered leadership has earned her recognition, including being honored as a “Phenomenal Woman” by the San Diego Union-Tribune and the Women’s Museum of California. She has also been featured in Teen Vogue and the national documentary On These Grounds for her advocacy and her work to advance accountability, transparency, and community-centered public safety across the country.
"Justice is more than the absence of injustice. It is the daily practice of transparency, accountability and integrity by those entrusted to lead.” — Aeiramique
