The city of Montgomery is looking to implement a citizens review board to bridge its police department and the community.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The city of Montgomery is reintroducing the idea of a citizens’ police review board, hoping it will serve as a bridge between the community and Montgomery Police.
Council President Pro Tempore Cornelius Calhoun said the council would have to strategically pick representatives to be on the board. “You have to be proactive,” Calhoun said, “When you look at a citizens review board, you have to get someone that understands the law, understands policing, and understands the environment that we’re in today, so we can be proactive with it.”Those selected to be on the board will be required to go through police training to learn policy and procedure while gaining a perspective on what officers deal with daily.
