Amend Citizens Police Review Commission law to comply with state transparency rules
In Plain English
State laws now require police departments to release more records about officer misconduct and use of force. The city's current Citizens Police Review Commission rules don't match these new requirements. If approved, the commission gains clearer authority to access and review police records that must now be made public.
