Citizens Review Board On Police Practices
Shaikh sat on San Diego's Citizens Review Board on Police Practices (CRBPP) during the time frame of his co-operation with the FBI. Ethical questions arose about his qualifications for city employment, as active police informants are precluded from employment on police oversight committees for obvious reasons. Joe Cantlupe was one reporter whose articles about Shaikh and the CRBPP appeared in the San Diego Union-Tribune. Shaikh was later removed from the board.

—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“Scandal begins when the police put a stop to it.”
—Karl Kraus (1874–1936)
