Civilian Review Board

A Civilian Review Board is an independent group composed of civilians who oversee and evaluate the actions of local law enforcement agencies. Their main role is to ensure police conduct is fair, lawful, and accountable by reviewing complaints, investigating misconduct cases, and recommending changes. This board helps build transparency and trust between the police and the community, providing a non-police perspective on law enforcement practices. While they do not have law enforcement authority, their oversight promotes accountability and enhances public confidence in policing.
