Five civilians have been nominated to serve on a new, nine-person board tasked with reviewing police use of force incidents in Indianapolis.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Chief Randal Taylor announced the new board in October, following months of civil unrest over policing here and across the country.
The board will include four officers and five civilians. Two civilians are nominated by the mayor and three by City-County Council President Vop Osili.
The chief of police gets final say on appointments, according to the department s general orders.
The board will have access to all reports, statements and recordings as part of an administrative review of use of force incidents. They can also question witnesses and hold hearings. The board will not be able to recommend discipline, but instead can issue advisory recommendations limited to whether the officer s action were in compliance with department policy.
