Policing Board

A Policing Board is a formal group that oversees and helps guide the work of the police force in a specific area. It typically includes elected officials, community representatives, and sometimes independent members. The board’s role is to ensure the police are accountable, effective, and serving the community’s needs. They review policies, budget decisions, and overall performance, providing oversight and making sure law enforcement aligns with public interests and priorities. In essence, it functions as a bridge between the police and the community to promote transparency and trust.
