At the request of the City Manager or the Chief of Police the Citizen Review Board makes recommendations concerning interpretation of police policies and procedures. The Board reviews internal investigations where a peace officer is alleged to have used force, discharged a firearm, committed a crime, when a person sustained severe injury, death, or alleged their civil rights were violated by a peace officer, or other investigations requested by the City Manager or Police Chief. Use of deadly force would be a mandatory review by the Board even if no complaint is filed. The Citizen Review Board also offers reviews for outside law enforcement agencies operated within the City and makes annual reports to the City Council and City Manager concerning activities and recommendations of the Board.
