New Berkeley Police Oversight Board To Hold Inaugural Meeting

BERKELEY, CA –A newly formed police oversight board that has been granted expanded authority will hold its inaugural meeting this week.

The nine-member Police Accountability Board, which replaces the phased-out Police Review Commission, wields greater powers to investigate complaints, has broader access to police records and has more time to investigate a complaint before making potential findings or a recommendation, city officials said.

The board's first meeting will be held Wednesday at 7 p.m. on Zoom.

The meeting can also be joined by phone: (669) 900-6833; Meeting ID: 811 7262 3383.
