Police Commission

A Police Commission is a governing body that oversees the police department’s operations, policies, and budgets. It typically consists of appointed or elected officials who set priorities, ensure accountability, and evaluate the chief of police's performance. The commission helps shape policing strategies, addresses community concerns, and maintains transparency. Its role is to ensure the police serve the community effectively, ethically, and within the law. Think of it as a board that provides oversight and guidance to maintain public trust and improve policing practices.
