* Editors Note: Ordinance No. 8843, § 1, adopted March 24, 1997, repealed §§ 10A-86--10A-93 and added new §§ 10A-86--10A-95. Formerly, such sections pertained to similar provisions and derived from Ord. No. 5123, § 2, 3-24-80; Ord. No. 7935, § 1, 11-2-92.
__________
It is the policy of the city to foster and encourage a citizen police partnership in the prevention of crime and to develop and maintain positive communications and mutual understanding and trust between the police and the community. The mayor and council find that the partnership between police and citizens is strongest when citizens are confident that the internal investigation of citizen complaints against the police department is fair and just. The mayor and council further find that such confidence is best achieved by opening the internal investigative process to public review and comment.
