Jersey City police unions sue City Council over resolution supporting creation of police oversight board
Updated 1:32 PM;
Jersey City’s police unions have filed a lawsuit against the City Council over the wording of a resolution that supports the creation of a civilian complaint review board in the city.
The city council on April 15 passed that resolution, promising to adopt a CCRB if and when the state passes a bill sponsored by Assemblywoman Angela McKnight, D-Jersey City, giving municipalities the power to create one with subpoena and investigatory powers.
The Jersey City Police Superior Officer’s Association and the Jersey City Police Officer Benevolent Association in its complaint filed in Hudson County Superior Court said the resolution does more than support passing a CCRB, but directs the creation of a CCRB.
