WEST HARTFORD, CT The West Hartford Town Council Tuesday appointed the members of its new Civilian Police Review Board.
The council established the CPRB in February. West Hartford is one of the first Connecticut municipalities to have established a civilian police review board using new authority provided in the police accountability legislation adopted by the state General Assembly last summer.
The CPRB consists of seven civilian regular members and three alternates appointed by the council.
