Public can speak about Civilian Review Board TONIGHT

By Antonio D. French

Filed Thursday, November 17 at 7:54 AM

The Public Safety Committee of the St. Louis Board of Aldermen will be hearing public testimony regarding the need (or lack thereof) for establishing a civilian board to review allegations of misconduct against police officers tonight at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall in the Kennedy Room (Room 208).

Board bill #69, sponsored by 18th Ward Alderman Terry Kennedy, would establish a civilian review board in the City of St. Louis, similar to those that exist in other cities, including Kansas City. But it would still be up to the St. Louis Police Board to give this body any teeth. That's because, unlike every other city in the state (except KC), the people of St. Louis have absolutely no influence over their own police force.

The police chief is selected by the police board and board members are selected by the governor.
