Like other major cities, San Antonio is locked in to a collective bargaining agreement with the local police union, the San Antonio Police Officers Association. AdFor example, in San Antonio, officers accused of misconduct are allowed a 48-hour notice before any interview takes place. San Antonio Police Chief William McManus also sees problems with the collective bargaining agreement and a few state laws that are in place. While all city council members agree that things need to change when the city negotiates the next collective bargaining agreement in 2021, some have different views on how the issue should be approached. The collective bargaining agreement does not distinguish among types of errors – failing to file paperwork or excessive use of force.
