Created as an 11-member group by Mayor Ravi Bhalla in June, the recommendations were submitted to mayor’s office and Police Chief Kenneth Ferrante on March 11th.
Three of the 11 slides they prepared review the community survey results from September – also reposted twice in October – that asked residents if they would support the implementation of a police review board, commonly referred to as a CCRB.
“A majority of respondents (74%) feel it would be a good idea for the City of Hoboken to institute a Public Safety Review Board to provide oversight of hiring practices and complaints,” the task force noted, indicating that 2,066 people responded and almost all (99 percent) were city residents.
