*City establishes police review board*

On Tuesday, June 19, the City Commission approved on second and final 
reading Ordinance No. 9324 
<https://lawrenceks.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7ca5a42664e87643b2b54d343&id=713c4223ea&e=1db547db75> 
establishing a Community Police Review Board. The Community Police 
Review Board was established to advise the Governing Body of the City of 
Lawrence, Kansas, regarding issues affecting the Lawrence Police 
Department, its policies, education, community outreach and 
communications related to racial or other bias-based policing. The Board 
provides an independent, accessible, and efficient means for which the 
public may submit a complaint of alleged police misconduct in a 
confidential manner. The Board also assists in reviewing completed 
racial or other bias-based policing investigations, in accordance with 
Chapter 1, Article 25 of the City Code, that are conducted by the police 
department, when appropriately appealed by a complainant.

The ordinance establishes qualifications for Board members and requires 
members to participate in training related to the Kansas Open Records 
Act and Kansas Open Meetings Act, as well as racial or other bias-based 
policing training soon after appointment to the Board. The Community 
Police Review Board bylaws are available here

The City is currently seeking volunteers to serve on this board. Any 
interested individual will need to ensure they meet the requirements 
outlined in the ordinance under “qualifications.” The online application 
form

is available for anyone interested in applying. *Please note:* If you 
previously applied to the "Citizen Advisory Board for Fair and Impartial 
Policing" ― before June 26, 2018 ― you will need to reapply to the new 
"Community Police Review Board".
