Require police review board to investigate all deaths and serious injuries from police actions
In Plain English
The city's police review commission currently decides whether to investigate incidents involving police. This change requires automatic investigations whenever police actions result in death or serious bodily injury. The commission would lose discretion over these cases and must assign an investigative officer to every incident.
