Less than two months after commissioners in Miami-Dade voted to revive the county s police oversight board, lawmakers in Broward County have voted to create a similar panel to investigate complaints against officers.
The new policing and criminal-justice review board was approved at the commission s October 20 meeting. The board will be made up of 24 members, including lawyers, health-industry experts, and representatives from various organizations, activist coalitions, and cultural groups in Broward.
Two of the 24 seats will be reserved for active members of law enforcement. One will be nominated by the Broward County Chiefs of Police Association, the other will be handpicked by the sheriff.
