(Dave Zajac/Record-Journal) August 03, 2021 06:16PM By Michael Gagne, Record-Journal staff MERIDEN â The City Council will soon take up the Use of Force Study Committeeâs recommendation to form a police civilian review board tasked with providing an external review of use of force incidents. The Use of Force Study Committeeâs 34-page report that included the recommendation was inserted in the councilâs Aug. 2 meeting packet and listed as a communication on that meetingâs agenda. The report included proposed language that would establish a civilian review board. However, that language had yet to be introduced to the council as a separate resolution for referral to one of its standing committees.Â
