In reply to Hermes_Simplex. That's fascinating -- they simply assumed the power, and presented themselves as having it, and they had it! I really think that I prefer that system in many ways, largely because the less connected that the board is to the police, the more honest that I think they'll be. (Perhaps less effective, though perhaps more!)

Thanks for posting about that. I must admit that I've done no research on police oversight boards, but now I see that I really should.
