Require independent investigator for deaths or serious injuries involving police
Resolution Ordinance No. 5-16 N.S.
In Plain English
The city currently allows police to investigate incidents involving their own officers. This law requires an outside investigator to handle cases when police actions result in death or serious bodily injury. The Citizens Police Review Commission would oversee these investigations instead of the police department investigating itself.
