What happens at Review Board meetings?
Review Board meetings have open and closed sessions. Open session is a business meeting open to the public and includes a work report from the executive officer and training for Board Members on law enforcement topics. Complainants and any member of the public may address the Review Board for three minutes during the public comment portion of open session on a matter within the Review Board’s jurisdiction. After open session concludes, the Review Board goes into closed session with only Board Members, staff, and legal counsel present. The Review Board considers staff’s reports and recommendations and makes decisions on complaints behind closed doors.
