in Atlanta is changing how the city's citizen watchdog group operates and, after years of criticism that it is a"toothless" body, could further empower it in investigating and recommending disciplinary action against officers.
An amended ordinance was also presented at a City Council meeting Monday that would, among several other changes, broaden the board's authority to conduct investigations and hold public hearings; expand the board to include younger members, because their age group often comes into contact with police; and institute an independent"reviewer" who would essentially mediate and make binding rulings when the board and the police department fail to agree on investigations.
The board received 153 complaints in 2019, a 13 percent increase from 2018. The complaints centered mostly on allegations that officers failed to follow protocol, used excessive force or exhibited questionable conduct. According to board data, the majority of complaints last year were made by Black men over 35, while the majority of law enforcement officers identified in the complaints were Black officers who had more than five years of policing experience.
