On a late summer night two years ago, Tiburon police asked Yema Khalif to prove he owned YEMA, the local clothing store that bears his name. The fallout from that August 2020 encounter shoved the quiet coastal enclave to the center of a racial justice moment that began just months earlier with George Floyd’s murder.

On Tuesday, the store owners will stand with town officials to announce changes enacted as a result of the incident. The changes include policy and training updates as well as the formation of a Citizen’s Advisory Panel to provide a forum between residents and police; one of the store owners is expected to serve as a member.

“We love our community,” Khalif said in a release. “We wanted to make sure that people in the community are aware of these issues and that Tiburon Police Department made changes to improve policing in the community.”

The unique partnership between the store owners and town officials stemmed from an Aug. 21, 2020, incident that was recorded by an officer’s body worn camera at YEMA in downtown Tiburon.
