Purpose

The Morgantown Citizen Police Review and Advisory Board provides for citizen participation in reviewing Police Department policies, practices, and procedures and promotes the availability of data relating to police practices and procedures.

The Civilian Police Review and Advisory Board doesn’t have the power to investigate specific incidents of police misconduct. The Board looks at the overall policies and practices of the police department. We    meet every month, and you can find the dates and what we’ll talk about on the city’s website. Everyone is welcome to attend and share their thoughts during the public comment part of the meeting. Thank you for being interested in the Board, and we hope you can join us at our next meeting!
