For nearly three years, the Civilian Police Review Board has inched toward more authority over police misconduct, approved by voters in 2021.
A final step is approving manuals that would act as the rule books for resident-led oversight. Now, the public can read and comment on them before they are put to use.
The review board works alongside civilian investigators to decide complaints made by residents against police officers. Investigators are employed by the city’s Office of Professional Standards (OPS), which is overseen by the review board.
