COLUMBUS, Ohio — Shortly after protests erupted in Columbus following the death of George Floyd, Mayor Andrew Ginther announced his proposal for a civilian review board of the Columbus Division of Police.
Ginther argued many cities across the country already have an oversight body, and it would help give transparency to the citizens they demand over police.
The 11-member group is still working out many of the details about the types of cases it will take on when it comes to police, hiring an inspector general and more.
