The best interests of the city and its residents will be served by civilian oversight of certain complaints and internal police investigations regarding conduct of the police. As such, the police civilian review board will audit and review all cases in which it is claimed that a police officer used excessive force and such other cases as the board in its discretion may request. Such audit and review are intended to foster trust between the community and law enforcement personnel and to assure fair treatment to police officers. (Ord. 52-03 § 1, 2003)
