Berkeley’s Police Review Commission, or PRC, revamped warrant procedures and discussed potential COVID-19 vaccination mandates for police officers, among other issues, during Thursday evening’s meeting.
By approving a recommendation for the Berkeley Police Department to adopt Policy 606, the commission effectively called for banning no-knock warrants and providing officers with updated protocols ranging from warrant preparation to potential media access. Before passing the motion, however, the commission added a sentence stressing that “The Sanctity of Life, as described in the Use of Force policy, is a guiding principle.”

If it becomes law, the Berkeley Police Department will have to get approval from the City Council and the Police Accountability Board to buy and the Police Department will have to report on its use of the equipment.
The Berkeley Police Review Commission, or PRC, met Wednesday to discuss the approval of the Controlled Equipment Ordinance by the city council and the future of no-knock warrants in the city of Berkeley.
The PRC, which was established in 1973, is an oversight agency with the purpose of ensuring that the Berkeley Police Department is operating in the interest of the community. Along with investigating instances of police misconduct, the PRC also advises city leaders on the operations of BPD.
“The PRC is empowered to review and advise on any function of the department, including, but not limited to: hiring and training, use of weapons and equipment, and budget development,” the city website states.
